About This Project

 

It is always a delight to behold the beautiful features of Their Lordships Śrī Jagannātha, Śrī Baladeva and Śrīmatī Subhadrā!  

 

The Transcendetal Triptych

 
śrī-jagannātha nilādri-śiro-mukuta-ratna he dāru-brahman ghana-śyāma prasīda puruṣottama
“O Lord Jagannātha, the crest jewel of the Nilādri hill! O Supreme Brahman in a wooden form! O dark-hued Lord Śyāma! Please be merciful upon me, O Lord Puruṣottama!” (From prayers to Lord Jagannātha by Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī)

“Situated in the conch-shaped Nilādri amidst a hundred-petalled lotus on a jeweled throne, decorated with all types of jewelry, with beauty resembling a new dark cloud, accompanied by His brother Balarāma, at the left side of His sister Subhadrā, having chariot-feet, worshipped by Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and Lord Indra — I fix my mind on that essence of all the Vedas, the Supreme Lord, surrounded by his dear devotees — the Supreme Brahman, Jagannātha, appearing in a form of wood.”

(From Jagannātha-pañcakam from Bṛhad-stotra-ratnāvalī, published in Śrī Kṛṣṇa Kathāmṛta Bindu, issue no. 354)

“To your dear devotees you give the nectar of your lips (in the form of maha-prasāda). You satisfied King Indradyumna (who prayed for your appearance). You are very eager to protect your younger sister Subhadrā. O younger brother of Baladeva! I offer my respects at your lotus feet.”

(From prayers to Lord Jagannātha by Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī)

 

Lord Baladeva

“With two beautiful arms carrying a plough and a club, appearing unsteady due to drinking honey liquor, decorated with jewels and beautiful earrings, with strength that caused the earthly planetary system to shiver in fear, with two cheeks possessing the peerless luster of lightning, decorated with the crown of Ananta Śeṣa, expert in battle, and with a whitish complexion like the moon — I worship that Lord Balarāma, the fulfiller of all desires.”

 

(From Jagannātha-pañcakam from Bṛhad-stotra-ratnāvalī, published in Śrī Kṛṣṇa Kathāmṛta Bindu, issue no. 354)

 

  I made a similar Transcendental Triptych last year, but this time it was commissioned, and the devotee desired that the decorative mandalas around were small, rather than filling the whole page.
