4/5 Bramhachari P. 4 years ago on Google
The
Jagannath
Mandir
of
Sripat
Mahesh
is
nearly
700
years
old.
A
great
Saint
Dhrubananda
Bramhachari
once
went
Puri
dham
at
Odhisa
with
the
desire
to
feed
Anna
Bhog
(Prasad
made
from
Rice)
Lord
Jagannath
Jiu
cooked
by
himself.
But
the
Pujaris
and
Pandas
(sebayits
who
serve
lord)
didn't
allow
that.
The
Pandas
beat
Dhrubananda
and
through
him
out
from
the
temple.
Dhrubananda
started
crying
and
complaining
to
the
Almighty
for
his
desire
with
out
taken
food
and
one
drop
of
water
for
three
days
at
the
entrance
gate
of
Sri
Kshetra
Puri.
After
3
days
Lord
Jagannath
appeared
in
front
of
Dhrubananda
and
asked
him
to
return
to
Bengal
and
wait
at
the
bank
of
Mata
Ganga
at
Shrirampur,
where
Lord
will
appear
to
Him
as
'Daru
Bramhan'.
After
years
of
deep
meditation
at
the
bank
of
Ganges
a
'Neem'
(Azadirachta
Indica)
wood
came
to
Him
and
Dhrubananda
got
the
dream
of
Lord
Jagannath
to
build
the
Jagannath
Murti
(Idol)
from
this
wood
and
worship
and
offer
Anna
Bhog
to
the
deities.
This
the
Jagannath
Mandir
of
Mahesh
consecrated.
After
years
of
service
to
God,
Dhrubananda
suffered
for
his
age
and
thinks
how
the
service
of
Sri
Jagannath,
Sri
Balabhadra,
and
Mata
Subhadra
will
be
maintained
after
his
demise.
And
prayed
to
Lord
Chaitanya
Mahaprovu
when
He
visited
the
Mandir.
Mahaprovu
asked
one
of
his
close
Devotee
Sri
Kamlakar
Piplai
to
take
charge
of
service
of
Lord
and
Dhrubananda.
Sri
Krishna
Chaitanya
Mahaprovu
when
came
here
to
have
Darshan
of
Sri
Sri
Jagannath
Dev
He
named
the
place
as
#NabaNilachal...Thus
the
Mahesh
Sripat
is
created
"The
Naba
Nilachal'
or
'Newly
born
Puri
Kshetra'.
The
present
temple
renovated
by
a
great
man
"Nayanchand
Mullick"
of
Kolkata
150
years
back.
At
the
time
of
Rathyatra
lakhs
of
devotees
from
all
sects
and
casts
from
the
different
parts
of
country.
The
state
government
of
West
Bengal
now
creating
this
place
as
a
"Tirtha
Kshetra"
all
the
amenities
of
a
great
Tirtha
Kshetra
will
be
available
here.
