Great vaishnava saint, Bhaktivinod Thakur, lived in Jagannatha Puri. As the regional governor he was also in charge of Jagannatha Temple. He was not only saint, but he could see more clearly motivation of people, which made him a very effective judge. British colonizers used to look at the managerial qualities of Indians with contempt, but Bhaktivinod won their recognition also in this regard. In few minutes he could finish the cases which others were unable to close in hours. In his house a son Bhimal Prasad was born, who later became famous all over India as Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati.
The temple at his birthplace is located about 1 km from the Jagannatha Temple on Grand Road. There is a Gaudiya Math temple here, with Jagannatha Deities and a murti of Bhaktisiddhanta Maharaja. There are also murtis of the heads of the four Vaishnava sampradayas — Vishnuswami, Madhvacarya, Nimbarka, and Ramanuja.
When Bhimal Prasad was a child, Ratha-yatra cart stopped in front of Bhaktivinod's house and like in times of Lord Chaitanya couldn't move for a while. Bhaktivinoda was a governor and his wife could came out with Bhimal Prasad in her arms and place him directly in front of the Jagannath's Deities...
...A flower garland fell on the child, thus blessing Bhimal Prasad. Shortly afterwards the cart could move again and Ratha-yatra continued.
Green coconuts provide very pleasant beverage called "dab". It is very refreshing drink very much welcomed in hot Indian climate. To find good source of drinking water can be troublesome and dab is so pure that during wartime in emergency cases it was used as blood infusion in absence of specially manufactured substances.

Jai Jai Jagannath Prabhu..... Cont.....
