Atmaanam rathinam viddhi shareeram rathamevatu
Buddhim tu saarathim viddhi manah pragrahameva cha
The Rath yatra on June 20 2023 …..
The body is the Chariot and the soul is the deity installed in the chariot. The wisdom acts as the charioteer to control the mind and thoughts. Rath Yatra is celebrated in Puri in the month of Aashadam(June-July) on the second day of the waxing moon (After Amavasya) in Sukla paksham with great pomp.
Buddhi being a charioteer is an appropriate analogy For that matter krishna was the charioteer for Arjuna who actually directed him not just in the war but spiritually as well Buddhi in place helps the soul to reach the Ultimate !
Jai Jagannath
