Maha Vishnu Circuit Summary
Across Bharat the great seats of Mahavishnu lie scattered wide, yet the rarest among them, the jewels, are held in Odisha within a few days of one another - and almost no pilgrim is ever shown them together. Here is Nilamadhava at Kantilo, the Lord in His first form, worshipped as a gem in a cave before any temple stood at Puri. Here is Shree Jagannath upon the Ratna Singhasana, one of the four Char Dham. Here is Alarnath, who alone holds the Lord's place through Anasara, when Shree Mandir gives no darshan. And here is Sakshigopal, who walked from Vrindavan as a witness, and Khirachora Gopinath, who stole from His own altar for a devotee too humble to ask. The origin, the throne, the refuge and the witness - four forms of the one Lord, and no other state in Bharat holds them in a single yatra.
