Corona quarantine alike Bhagwan Jagannath’s Anasara (करोना क्वारंटाइन वैसे ही है, जैसे जगन्नाथ रथयात्रा मे अनासार)

Bhakti Bharat draw's a simple logic of self-quarantine for COVID-19 with Bhagwan Jagannath's Anasara which occurs after 'Snana Jatra'. "When God himself goes on a self-quarantine for a period of 14 days, it is a big message for us, we are only mortals.

During the bathing festival (Snana Purnima) which occurs 15days before Jagannath Rath Yatra, Bhagwan Jagannath, Bhagwan Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra have a bath with 108 pots of cold water to fight the heat of summer. After this royal bath ceremony, the three Deities are sick and they stay away from the public view for a period of 15 days.The divine siblings battle a strong fever and are cured at a secret place on the temple premises.

Bhagwan Jagannath has this quarantine every year, once after he comes into contact with too many of his worshipers. He actually contracts cold which is a virus-led thing. He is quarantined for exactly 14 days, same 14 days as in chickenpox and coronavirus. He is given the right kind of medication, the right kind of food and then he bounces back. The servitors do the special 'Phuluri Tela' Seva — a unique healing method — to cure the deities effectively. This period is known as Anasara and the place where they get nursed is called Anasara Ghara.

Bhakti Bharat says: Self-quarantine or home isolation might sound scary to some of us. But there is no need to be scared of these phrases. This is something which is being practiced in Bhagwan Jagannath temple since ages.

We hope that people will shed the apprehension that they have about quarantine. Be alert and stay safe.
