The Lord is Sri Somya Kesava. Here Vainateya [Garuda], the vehicle of the Lord is more famous. The serpent coiled conch removes Nagadosha at Nagamangala. Here also Garuda removes Nagadosha of devotees.

When we visit temples, the wide open eyes of the Lord welcome us. Thus we get His grace. This is the substance of the Divine name nimisha. When the Lord was in Dwaraka, Duryodana came to approach for aid in the ensuing war between Kauravas and Pandavas. Sri Krishan was asleep [pretending] and so Duryodana had to wait. His ego did not permit him to choose the seat at the feet of the Lord; and he sat on a seat at His head! Later Arjuna came and he picked up seat at His feet. When the Lord woke up, naturally, He saw Arjuna at His feet and enquired. Later, He saw Duryodana. Thus the Lord does not want to see enemies of His devotees and grace them!

On 13th Januaray 2009, Iskcon is arranging for Rath Yatra of Puri at Mylapore, Chennai, from 3.00 PM. All are requested to attend and recieve the blessings of Lord Sri Jagannatha.
