Lord Jagannatha on Altar with Panca Tattva in Puri?

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

Dear Swami Gaurangapada and assembled devotees, please accept my humble obiesances.

Yesterday a dear friend who lives in the Melbourne Iskcon Centre visited my home. I showed her the new Nitaai Gaudiya Math Deity photos, and she loved seeing them.

Lord Jagannatha caught her eye on the altar with Panca-Tattva and she asked what was the significance of this? If I recall correctly she said one of our Acaryas had installed the same in Puri and it had some significance?

Could you please enlighten me further, thanks.

Thank you Srinath! This devotional process and vision 'is' the meaning of life. And it comes to mind after reading your post that devotion is also the sustenance of all other processes.

Gurudeva said to me some years ago, in difficult times - 'try to see God in all things, everywhere'. Now I understand the potency of his devotional vision and instruction. It surely is the supreme peace to have one's eyes anointed with the ointment of love. Maybe now real life begins if we use that salve... And as Lord Jesus said, 'the blind will see', and Krsnadasa Kaviraja said 'he could swim across the ocean even with the infirmity of old age'.

God bless you Srinath.
