Mahaprabu Jagannath is our Rashtra Devata ,he is the embodiment of love,a guiding force behind the cultural heritage of this land.Jagannatha Sanskriti is purely the Sanatana Sansktriti.

But some self-proclaimed intellects connect Him with others sects which is not true.

He is an emotion & a Spirit of Sanatana Dharma.
In past Jagannath Temple has seen 18 invasions & destruction.
But each & everytime it was protected by the common people of Odisha,who had sacrificed their everything for Mahaprabhu.The motive of all these invasion is to destroy it.

But they couldn't succeeded.

In 1568 Kalapahada attacked Odisha and wiped out the Last hindu Ruler Mukundadeva.He led his army to Puri to demolish the Temple.
The Priests & Sevayatas got to know this & the Chaturtha Murtis are taken to an island in "Chilika Lake" for safety.

Kalapahada came to know about the secrecy and he taken away the idols to the bank of River Ganga in Banga & burnt them.
Bisara Mahanty a great devotees of Jagannath had followed Kalapahada in disguised & succeeded in recovering the Bhrama Padartha from the half burnt Murti

Kept in his Mridanga. Later the Bramhapadartha was brought back to Puri and new Murtis were installed thought Nabakalevara Rituals.Even today Bisara Mahanty is highly regarded among the devotees.
