00:00I'm not going to be able to do it.
00:02Don't worry, I'll give you a shell.
00:06Hey!
00:09Hello!
00:10Hello!
00:14Hey!
00:15You have to pull it back!
01:00Devi Prasad Rajguru is the traditional Rajguru of Gajapati Maharaj.
01:22Jai Jagannath!
01:24Today is a holy day.
01:26It is called the Mahal of Gajapati Maharaj.
01:30It is performed in the evening.
01:36You must know that when Sri Ramchandra became the king,
01:43it was the day of Pushya Nakshatra.
01:46Even today, it is the day of Pushya Nakshatra.
01:50Like Sri Ramchandra, the king of Gajapati Maharaj,
01:56we worship Gajapati Maharaj with all our heart.
02:08Rajguru and Rajguru's wife,
02:12Gajapati Maharaj and the queen of Gajapati Maharaj.
02:16They sit together.
02:18They are given some divine offerings.
02:25It is given with a shastriya mantra.
02:28It is called the Vardhani Kalas.
02:33Gajapati Maharaj and the queen of Gajapati Maharaj sit together.
02:59The ancestors of Gajapati Maharaj,
03:01the 16 villages where Brahmins live,
03:04the Kulin Brahmins,
03:06who are still present,
03:08the devotees of Mukti Mandap,
03:11they are invited today.
03:13They come.
03:14Gajapati Maharaj is always ready for the welfare of the cow Brahmins.
03:20That is why all the Brahmins give their blessings.
03:26They put their feet on a cloth.
03:30The dust of the feet is given to the head of Gajapati Maharaj.
03:37Because Gajapati Maharaj keeps the Brahmins at the top.
03:40And Gajapati Maharaj knows that if Brahmins are worshipped,
03:44then the welfare of the entire kingdom is achieved.
03:47That is why all this tradition has been going on since our ancestors.
03:52Our ancestors have been doing it and we have been doing it.
03:56And what happens today,
03:58that is why it is very important.
04:01Because today, as I said, Ramchandraji was consecrated.
04:06And Gajapati is also consecrated for a year from today.
04:10Then it is consecrated for the second time.
04:14So this tradition is very old.
04:16And for that, the Gajapati tradition of Odisha,
04:19Gajapati Maharaj carries on this tradition.
04:24And we have been carrying on this tradition since our ancestors.
