MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN Subhadra (his sister) a forced trinity which do not exist in Vaishnavism in order to maintain the ancient tradition. Here is the three idols which are crudely made from wood. This is in sharp contrast to the Hindu tradition of idols being made from Pancha Loha (five metals). . The Black represents the unknowable God who wakes up and creates, the white represents the knowable Crown and the female the Holy Spirit that recreates. There are numerous smaller temples and shrines within the Temple complex where active worship is regularly conducted. What is not normally told is that there is a legend that one of the Apostles of Jesus (name is not given) came to Puri in the first centuries 186
MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN of Christianity. One of the shrines within the Temple complex even have a large cross which is made also with wood and worshipped. This again supports my thesis "The emergence of Hinduism from Christianity". Without the Christian and Kabbalistic background it is impossible to explain the iconographic models within the Jagnnath concept of Puri. This figure of Jagnath, which is celebrated as the Lord of the Universe, is really an epitome of the theology, which is essentially the theology of Eastern Churches and that of the Hebrew Kabala. It developed in India soon after the advent of Thomas. The description of the figure can be summarized as follows: In the beginning, God alone existed. We cannot attribute any quality to God, because qualities are relative. Without the existence of another, we cannot define qualities. This God – the beginning - is referred to as Nirguna Brahman (God without Qualities). This is represented as the darkness. God who resides in darkness symbolized the God who cannot be known. “Jehovah hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness” (1 King 8:12) “Jehovah spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice” (Deu. 5:22) Then the fact remains that we have a creation and movement. Therefore, this Nirguna Brahman put on a variation within himself. It is as though he differentiated himself to parts thus creating a God with Properties and Qualities. This God is known as Saguna Brahman (God with Properties). God is a person not a force. This is because creation needs a purposeful act. The two open eyes represent this waking up process. This God has expressed himself and hence can be known through creation and in intimacy. 187
