Living with Jagannath Consciousness from Childhood for Prateek Patnaik

He is Prateek Patnaik , a child of Std.X at Damanjodi in Koraput district who constantly lives in Jagannath Consciousness . He speaks , feels , writes , paints only on Lord Jagannath . Whatever he makes is been dedicated to Lord Jagannath . To him everything on this earth is only Jagannath . He can compromise on anything else but not on any work of the Lord , says Dipak Patnaik , his father . He has painted portraits of the Lord in his canvas , made items that lord would wear for getting decorated on different occasions . He can tell about the rituals in relation to Lord Jagannath better than most of us . He has read more books on Lord Jagannath than adults like me , leave aside children like him . He has learnt Champu , Odishi and Chanda to offer his prayers to the Lord . However his parents were not worried for his great inclination to the Divine work from his childhood as he was equally good at his studies . He has lot many prizes at local to National level compared to other children of his age . Certificates speak about his continuous progress in the line of evolution . Today while I was there to see this dedicated child in his house at Damanjodi , I expressed gratitude to the Divine for giving me an opportunity to meet such a noble soul totally dedicated to the Divine in all that he does . It is a rare Sadhana which this little child was doing without saying that he was doing it . May Lord Jagannath give him strength in becoming what he should become .
