"Between the Chariot Wheels: The Saga of Subhadra" is an enchanting and insightful exploration of Subhadra, the often-overlooked yet profoundly important sister of Lord Jagannath and Lord Balabhadra. Set against the backdrop of the sacred rituals and vibrant festivals of Odisha, this book unravels Subhadra's divine journey, highlighting her essential role in the grand tradition of Jagannath worship.While Jagannath and Balabhadra often take the spotlight in religious texts and practices, Subhadra's influence is equally significant, as she embodies the feminine energy in the holy triad. The narrative delves into her involvement in sacred events like the Rath Yatra, where she is placed between her brothers on her own chariot, symbolizing her position as the mediator and nurturer of the divine family. Subhadra's role in other rituals, such as the Snana Yatra and Anasara, further emphasizes her connection to the spiritual cycle of birth, death, and renewal.Through a mix of mythology, history, and cultural context, the book presents Subhadra as a symbol of strength, compassion, and balance in the divine order. It weaves together tales of devotion and divine protection, showcasing her as a motherly figure who nurtures and safeguards her devotees."Between the Chariot Wheels" is more than just a retelling of ancient stories; it is a celebration of the often-overlooked goddess whose legacy continues to inspire millions. This book offers a fresh perspective on her indispensable role in one of Hinduism's most beloved traditions, the worship of Lord Jagannath.
