Lord Jagannath and the English Word Juggernaut
The English
Word Juggernaut, which means ‘a massive inexorable force that seems to crush
everything in its way’, is derived from the name of Lord Jagannatha. Actually
from the Puri Jagannath chariot procession. The chariots pulled during the Puri
Jagannath Rath Yatraare really huge and earlier people used to get
crushed under the big wheels while pulling it. Friar Odoric, a Franciscan
missionary, witnessed one such accident in 14th century and wrote about the
huge chariot in a European journal.
About the Puri Jagannath Ratha Yatra Chariots
The three
chariots (Raths) used for the annual Puri Jagannath Ratha Yatra are
newly constructed each year. A particular family of carpenters owns the
hereditary right to construct the chariots. The construction of the chariots
begins on the Akashya Tritiya day, which is around three months before the
actual Ratha Yatra day. Each chariot used in the Rath Yatra has specific size
and dimensions. The chariots are a classic example on indigenous engineering
marvel.

A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build
just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed to this proposal
but made sure that this will be his last project. Being in a mood to retire,
the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this house. His heart
was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior
materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
