Lord Jagannath is famous for destroying the
pride of his devotees. Jagannath did not like the pride of Sudarsana Chakra
thinking he was most powerful.
Sudarshan
Chakra started thinking that the Lord was protected by him & dependent upon
him. Lord Jagannath takes the help of Sudarsan Cakra to accomplish any
difficult job. Thus the Lord decided to correct Sudarsan’s pride only to
protect His dear devotee.
The Lord sent Sudarsana Chakra to call Hanuman. At that time Hanuman was
engaged in tapasya at abhayaranya(deep forest).
Immediately the Sudarsan Chakra
went to inform Hanuman that Lord Jagannath wanted to see him and Hanuman
started his journey to meet the his Lord. After informing Hanuman the Sudarsna
Chakra immediately returned to the temple, reaching there before Hanuman. As
Hanuman neared the temple gates, the Sudarshan Chakra started to move swiftly
around the mandir parameters blocking the path of Hanuman and preventing him
from reach the Ratna Simhasana.
Hanuman
asked himself how he can meet his Lord. He took shelter of Lord Jagannath
simply by remembering Him. Immediately by the mercy of the Lord, Hanuman was
empowered and developed six extra arms from his shoulders. Thus he became ashta
bhuja (eighth-armed) Hanuman.
Four hands had four Sudarsana Chakras, two hands for offering pranams, two hands
for chanting the holy name of the Lord.
Hanuman
then proceeded towards the ratna simhasana to meet with Lord Jaganntah. After
some time Sudarsna Chakra also reached there in great distress. Lord Jagannath
wanted to punish the Sudarshan Chakra for his offence to hanuman and also
wanted to destroy his great false pride. Sudarshana Chakra was ashamed to see
Hanuman more powerful than him and he had not been able to prevent Hanuman from
entering the temple.
Thus the Lord cursed the Sudarshana Chakra
that in the age of Kali he will not have his disc form rather he would take the
form of a pillar (stambha) which will always be at the left side of Lord
Jagannath.
Note:
In
Vishnu Murthy form Sudarshan Chakra is on the right hand of the Lord and The Sudarshan
got a curse to be in the left hand side that too as a (stamba) pillar.
