Jagannath Temple, Puri, Orissa was a Buddhist temple ---Swami Vivekananda

RSS gang and other sections of the Hindutva brigade have been

demanding conversion of mosques into Hindu temples without

proofs so sites have to be excavated. But there are creditable

proofs that many Buddhist temples were forcibly converted into

Hindu temples. One of such temples happens to be Jagannath

temple at Puri, Orissa. And it is no other person who makes

it public but Swami Vivekananda.

Swami Vivekananda while intervening into a debate whether

Jesus Christ ever visited Jagannath temple tells: "There was

a book written a year or two ago by a Russian gentleman, who

claimed to have found out a very curious life of Jesus Christ,

and in one part of the book he says that Christ went to the

temple of Jaganath to study with the Brahmins, but became

disgusted with their exclusiveness and their idols and so

he went to the Lamas of Tibet instead, became prefect, and

went home. To any man who knows anything about Indian history,

that very statement proves that the whole thing was fraud,

because the temple of Jaganath is an old Buddhistic temple.

We took this and others over and re-Hinduised them. We shall

have to do many things like that yet. That is Jagannath,

and there was not one Brahmin there then, and yet we are

told that Jesus Christ came to study with the Brahmins there.

So says our great Russian archaeologist." [swami Vivekananda

in 'The Sages of India' in The Complete Works of Swami

Vivekananda, Vol 3, p264, published by Advaita Ashram,

Calcutta]

The Hindutva brigade must tell the nation when are they going

to return this Buddhist temple to the Buddhists?

This Temple is very Controversial even within the Hindu Dharam... It bans all low castes and foreign people which means for white people belonging to ISKCON its a bit of a pain. Here is a Powerfull Hindu Institution that freely promotes and upholds its Caste and Racist Ideology and they do this via scriptural support apparently.

Here's a Gora Hindu voicing his disgust at the policy found there.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
