In a small village near Puri lived a family of devoted worshippers of Lord Balabhadra, the elder brother of Lord Jagannath. Every day, without fail, they would offer prayers and sing hymns in praise of the Lord.

One fateful night, a devastating cyclone struck the coastal region. As violent winds and torrential rain threatened to destroy everything in their path, the family huddled together in prayer, seeking Lord Balabhadra's protection.

True devotion is not measured by time spent in ritual or prayer, but by the constant remembrance of the Divine in one's heart during all activities.
