A trip to Odhisa cannot be complete with out a visit to Jagganath temple. We went to this temple on 25th February 2022. A spiritual experience no doubt but now it is imbued with nationalism for I could see groups of people moving with national flags and remembering our martyrs. The large number of foreigners in the Hare Krishna procession moving to the Jagganath temple singing the krishna bhajans was a moving site. The beach was beautiful and the unending waves remind me of the continuities of the past to the present and even the future. These waves must have been there from the beginning and will continue even after us. It is an amazing feeling to be so connected with that story of an endless time of which history is just a part.
