king of Jagannath Puri questioned Shri Vallabhacharya, “Who is the highest Deity? What is the main scripture as well as the most holy mantra? Finally, what is the most exalted work we can do?”
The bhakti master put these questions onto a piece of paper and placed them in the inner temple and closed the doors. He awaited the Lord’s response. When the temple opened, each question was percisely answered by Lord Jagannath in Sanskrit.
“Know that the Gita is the main scripture. Lord Krishna is the God of gods. His name is the highest mantra and no work surpasses His service.”
