Juggernaut
The term juggernaut is used to describe any literal or metaphorical force regarded as unstoppable that will crush all in its path. The word is derived from the
Sanskrit Jagannātha (meaning "Lord of the universe") which is one of the many names of
Krishna from the ancient
Vedic scriptures of
India. One of the most famous of Indian
temples is the
Jagannath Temple in
Puri,
Orissa, which has the
Ratha Yatra (
chariot procession), an annual procession of chariots carrying the
murtis/statues of
Jagannâth (Krishna),
Subhadra and
Baladeva (Krishna's elder brother). During the
British colonial
era,
Christian missionaries promulgated a fallacy that
Hindu devotees of Krishna were lunatic fanatics who threw themselves under the wheels of these chariots in order to attain
salvation. Such a description can also be found in the popular fourteenth-century work "
The Travels of Sir John Mandeville." The fact is that devotees have sometimes been crushed accidentally in the past as the massive 45 foot tall, multi-ton chariot slipped out of control. Many have also been killed in the resulting stampedes. The sight led the Britons to use the word "Juggernaut" to refer to other instances of unstoppable, crushing forces.
