Klappentext

Jagannath: Stories of Faith and Devotion brings together seventy-five powerful accounts from the traditions of Jagannath worship, one of India's most enduring spiritual legacies. Drawn from temple chronicles, scriptures, traditions, and oral narratives, this collection reveals a God revered by his devotees as one of their own. It moves from the earliest tribal worship in forest groves to the grandeur of the Puri temple, offering readers a layered understanding of belief, symbolism, and cultural continuity. Here, a king is humbled and then protected; a devotee is cared for by the Lord Himself; a poet sings across boundaries; a single offering of love outweighs everything else. Across the stories, the distance between the devotee and the Divine begins to dissolve. Whether you're a spiritual seeker, a lover of Indian mythology, or simply drawn to the power of stories, this book invites you to see the divine in ways you never have.
