Jaya Jagannath,                          ( Attached : Donor's list for June 2008 )

Ritually speaking today the 8th of July counts to a ceremony named Hera Panchami that equates the stature of Lord Jagannath and his consort to almost the human level. It’s a definite worth watching as it involves an exciting family drama of Lord Jagannath and Goddess Laxmi.

Lord Jagannatha left his wife Lakshmi, and went to Gundicha mandir promising to return the next day. When he does not return the next day, Goddess Laxmi. gets angry for being left out at the temple and angrily sets out in night on a paliquin to aunt Gundicha temple to meet her husband Lord Jagannath but she doesn’t enter the temple as her husband’s ender brother Lord Balabhadra is next to Lord Jagannath. She remains in the courtyard only.

After having a stealthy look at her Lord, she returns to the temple, damaging a part of Rath in anger and disgust. When the goddess arrives, her servitors - the devidasis confront the head dayita and sing the Hera Panchami song (Hera means to 'see' and Panchami means 'the fifth day') pulling at the dayita's dhoti. The Hera Panchami song expresses Lakshmi's anger. One of the devidasis then brakes a piece of the Lord's chariot.
