🕉 #Thread Alarnatha Mandira, near Puri, Odisha .One of rarest Deities carved by Lord Brahma on Bhagwan Vishnu’s instruction is Sri Alarnathji. At this place, Lord Brahma meditated on Lord Vishnu & pleased with his penance, Lord Vishnu appeared here & named it as Brahmagiri🚩 ImageImage
🕉 2. Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu during his stay in Puri used to see Shri Jagannatha daily. During Anavasara which is Ashada Krishna Paksha after Snana Yatra, when Lord & his siblings are taken to secret chamber for 15 days, he was unable to see his Bhagwan 🚩 Image
🕉 3. Bhagwan JagannathJi told him to go to Brahmagiri & have his darshan at Sri AlarnathJi temple. Even today the Shila over which Mahaprabhu used to do Sankeertan is present here. During Anavasara time Kheeri bhoga offered to Alvarnaath Swami is very famous & much in demand🚩 ImageImage
