What are some unsolved mysteries in Indian Mythology (rather Hindu mythology)?
The Brahma (heart) inside the statue of Jagannath Puri
In the Statue of Jagannath, There is one mysterious object which is called “Brahman”. It is believed that the Brahman is a part of Krishna’s physical body.
After the death of Krishna, Arjun along with his other brothers cremated him in pyre. The whole body of Krishna was turned into ashes, but the heart (pinda) of Krishna was still burning for years. Following a divine order, they threw the heart in the sea.
It is said that this pinda or heart was seen floating as daru (log of a tree) in the sea. King Indradyumna, who was an ardent devotee of Jagannath retrieved the log.
This log is now called as Brahman which is inside Jagannath Statue. In every 12 years during the Naba Kalebara, The statue of Jagannath is changed, However The Brahman is never changed.
Its transferred to the new statue.
What’s interesting here is that nobody till date has been able to experience what actually is this “Brahman”. When asked of their experience at this time, the Dayitapatis say, “It is very difficult to express what Brahman is.
It cannot be seen or touched. Our eyes are blindfolded and our hands are covered with cloth when we carry it. Yet a powerful feeling is very much present, like a rabbit jumping in our hands. This is our experience. Beyond this, exactly what this Brahman is that is so powerfully felt, nobody is able to say”.
It is told that If anybody sees the Brahman, will die. The Government of Odisha therefore orders a full blackout of light on this one night in the whole town of Puri.
2. Chintamani Stone
The stone is thought to be a relic of Buddha, and is able to grant wishes. Supernatural powers aside, the stone represents Buddhist values and teachings. It has never been found (of course), and there has never been any solid evidence of its existence.
3. The ghost soldier
Mr. Harbhajan Singh got drowned in a glacier during the 1962 China-India War. He was searched for everywhere & he was found three days later and was cremated with full military honours. Legend goes like this that Harbhajan Singh led the Search Party to his body, and later, through a dream, instructed one of his colleagues to build and maintain a Temple/Shrine after him.
A shrine was built at his Samadhi in the hills. Army folklore holds Baba is a stickler for discipline and is known to admonish those who do not tow this line.
In the camp at Nathula Pass, a camp bed is kept for him and his boots are polished and uniform is kept ready every night. The sheets are reportedly crumpled every morning and boots muddy by evening.
The Ghost soldier continues to draw a salary and takes his annual leave also. Legend also has it that in the event of a war between India and China, Baba would warn the Indian and Chinese soldiers three days in advance.
4. Existence of river Saraswati
There have been various studies to determine if such a river indeed existed and the most logical conclusion have been drawn is that perhaps what is the Ghaggar-Hakra River was once the Saraswati.
But again there are evidences that suggest that the Saraswati has actually dried up before the the Ghaggar-Hakra river period; raising questions about the authenticity of the existence of Saraswati.
5. Levitating Stone of Shivapur
A stone weighing about 200 kg levitating in air is indeed strange. While some believe it to be an illusion, there is no denying that it is a puzzling event and is counted amongst the unsolved mysteries of India.
