Devotees formerly threw themselves under a huge cart – a juggernaut – as it moved. Such a huge machine can represent the massive social organisation we are bound up in, or the apparently blind violence of life. Some of us relate well to this process that goes on its way blind to individuals; some are ground under by its demands.
