                        The charisma and supremacy of lord Jagannath have been proved by thousands of devotees once & again.

    One such devotee is Madhabacharya of Nadiya village.The saint was leaving with his wife and a child. One day Shree Chaitanya came to the village and started sankirtan( chanting the name of God with a musical instrument). Madhabacharya was a devotee of Lord  krishna. He could not help coming out and participate in the sankirtan. His wife was preparing meal for the family. The devotional sankirtan performed by Sri Chaitanya was so powerful that she heard the sankirtan and got immersed in krishna bhakti (devotion). While cutting vegetables, in a state of half -conciousness, she cut the head of the child and put it on the pot. Madhaba came back & saw his wife unconscious. He knew that the child was killed. He knew that his wife was a great devotee & not lamenting on her deeds , he embraced her. Knowing the condition of his only son, he prayed God and told " if the name of Lord krishna is true, my son will get life". He  along with his wife went to Shree Chaitanya with the pot as well as the  dead body and described the fact. Chaitanya was taken aback and told all devotees to pray God. Once again they performed sankirtan & see ! the boy got life at once & came out of the pot. Chaitanya took the boy to his lap, whispered the mahamantra( names of Rama and Krishna) in the ear of the baby.The baby was named Krupacharya as the boy was blessed with God's kripa (mercy).

                                                        Jai Jagannath.
