Unity, freedom, knowledge and power constitute the four wheels

VSKAP: AP Samachar - 13 July 2010 Priyadarsi Dutta   The chariot as dharma’s symbol by Vishwa Samvad Kendra AP West
The Rath Yatra may thus be a festive way of celebrating spiritual self-discovery. Like all Hindu festivals its ritualistic aspect is deeply symbolic. Like Kumbh Mela or Durga Puja, it breaks down the barriers of caste. “The ideal society is the vehicle of the indwelling godhead of a human aggregate, the chariot for the journey of Jagannath. Unity, freedom, knowledge and power constitute the four wheels of this chariot,” wrote Sri Aurobindo in Chariot of Jagannath (1918), a rare Bengali essay.
