Jagannath Mandir is 800 years old and the flag hoisted on its pinnacle always flies against the direction of the wind. The flag is changed every day. This tradition has been followed continuously for hundreds of years. It is said that if the tradition is discontinued, the temple will remain closed for 18 years. It is also believed that opening doors of the temple in such a situation, might result in occurrence of a calamity.

An eagle was seen carrying a flag of Shri Jagannath Mandir, Puri and at the same time, Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Gadgil saw the ‘Neel-chakra’ on Shri Jagannath Mandir at Hyderabad becoming radiant. These two happenings are the divine indication of establishment of Hindu Rashtra

Shrichit Shakti (Mrs.) Anjali Mukul Gadgil

On 12.04.2025, we seekers were travelling in Hyderabad, with one of the spiritual heirs of Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Athavale Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Mukul Gadgil; when we saw a temple that was a replica of Shri Jagannath Mandir of Puri (Odisha).

Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Gadgil saw the ‘Neel-chakra’ on that temple and it looked illuminated. Later, we came to know about the eagle carrying the flag on Shri Jagannath Mandir temple of Puri around the same time. The flag is mounted near ‘Neel-chakra’ on this temple which is always flying. Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Gadgil seeing the illuminated ‘Neel-chakra’ on a temple in Hyderabad and at the same time, an eagle carrying the flag on the temple at Puri are the two incidents which indicate a divine message of establishment of Hindu Rashtra in future.
