Lord Jagannatha and Carl Jung

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

I have enjoyed your lectures on Jung and the ways in which Jungian philosophy dovetails with Krishna Consciousness. My question is about Lord Jagannath and how Jung might see him in terms of Archetypes, integration of the shadow, or any of his other core concepts. I am a counselor working with non devotee families and I am always looking for ways to communicate Vaishnavism with the psyche. I would be grateful for any opportunities for service to you.

Your humble servant,

Akincana Bhakta Dasa


HpS - I don't know. Lord Jagannatha is a very specific Lila-avatar. There is Ranchor in another place in India. He is part of the lila of Lord running away from the battle field.

If Jung new more details he might see Lord from his perspective.

What have you read of Jung???
