00:23jane pravasi bharatiyo, to tangase to katha hawa, sir welcome to ETV, you are from Marishasru,
00:30so you are here in Odisha, Bhubaneswar, when you came here we saw that you are holding your hands
00:39in front of Lord Jagannath, so you are praising Lord Jagannath, Jagannath is a symbol of S,
00:47so what you will say?
00:48Speaker 2 โ Yes, I participate in the PBD first time here and I am first time in Odisha also,
00:56and yesterday with the group I got to visit the site of Lord Jagannath temple and to see the
01:04religious site, to see how the people believe etc, because you know in Mauritius, our roots are
01:12from India and as all the people like Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, they said we can't let
01:21religion to distort, to divide us, so visiting the place to know the culture of people is very
01:32important so that we can have an open mind to look people as a good humanity, this is my message is
01:42to bring peace and tolerance around the world, because in Mauritius we have lots of religious
01:48beliefs, Hindus, Christians, etc, Muslims, and we live in peace here, in harmony, we visit the
01:56place, people visit, it's not difficult for a Christian to visit a mosque, it's not difficult
02:02for a Hindu to visit a Christian church, because in Mauritius we have lots of diversity and lots
02:13of culture, and we are very small island, and we know each other like we can say, and we don't
02:22let religion divide us, we bring peace and harmony, everything. Lord Jagannath is a symbol of peace
02:29and harmony. Yes, I heard it. So you are from a different religion, and Lord Jagannath is a God
02:38of Hindu, he is a symbol of trust, he is a symbol of peace, so you are praising him, you are in love with him.
02:48Yes, I heard lots of good things about the Lord Jagannath, I read about it on the posters,
02:57and we can see that the Lord Jagannath already brings peace and harmony, brings love, affection,
03:04etc, so I do my best to come to visit it. Lord Jagannath is a living God, you know, he is a
03:11living God, he has a lot of ideologies, he has his family also, you will see these three, his brother
03:18is there, his sister is there, his wife is also there, Malakmi, so he is a living God, his ideologies
03:24are there, which we are working in the society, we are following his culture, so a lot of things
03:29are there. So would you like to look into all these things? Yes, of course, of course, of course,
03:35it's not difficult to look at all these things, because we are all human beings, and like we said,
03:41everyone gives a name to the God, but everyone goes to the same God,
03:48to the same one Supreme God. So will you visit Puri? I visit, I visit, I visit
03:57outside the Jagannath Mandir in Puri also, yeah. So car festival is famous in the globe,
04:05so different parts of the globe, the people come to that place, car festival, Lord Jagannath is
04:11sitting in a chariot, so people will carry them, so car will be going, so it's a traditional thing.
04:18So have you, you can see this one also, Ratha Yatra is there, Ratha means this one is a chariot,
04:25so Lord is sitting there, people are carrying them, priests are carrying them, so this one is
04:30a culture, this is a tradition. Yes. So how do you feel all these things? Yes, you know, like I'm
04:37saying, in Mauritius, we have the Mahashivratri festival, we can see the people used to carry
04:44the canoe to the Grand Bassin, in Mauritius we have Grand Bassin, where there is a sacred lake
04:52for the Hindu faith, so it's habitual, because me, I'm a person who always learn to see what...
