BJD), led by Naveen Patnaik, has taken a unique approach to announcing its candidates for the upcoming assembly elections in Odisha. The approach, nicknamed "Formula 9," revolves around the number nine and its multiples, creating an intriguing pattern in the candidate announcement process. It all began with the first list released on March 27, featuring 72 candidates (7+2=9). This pattern continued in subsequent lists, with the number nine serving as a central theme. The initial Lok Sabha candidates' list, also released on March 27, contained nine names. The second list included 27 candidates (2+7=9), and the following rounds saw nine candidates per list. The cumulative numbers after each round were all multiples of nine: 72, 99, 108, 117, 126, and 135. As of now, BJD has 12 candidates left to announce after its sixth list was released on Saturday. While some BJD leaders claimed ignorance of the pattern, BJD insiders suggest there's a strong belief in the auspiciousness of the number nine, which has deep connections with Jagannath culture in Odisha. Prafulla Mishra, a Sanskrit scholar, mentioned, «Lord Jagannath's Rath Yatra (car festival) goes on for nine days, representing nine planets. The chariot of Lord Jagannath has nine Parswa Debatas (side deities).» This connection may explain why Naveen Patnaik chants «Jai Jagannath» before announcing the names of the candidates in every round.

Svadhyaya becomes increasingly pertinent in a world that constantly seeks external gratification and validation. Derived from Sanskrit words, 'sva' means self and 'adhyaya' means study, education. Svadhyaya encapsulates the practice of self-study, introspection and the exploration of one's inner being. It is a transformative process of personal exploration. Maharishi Patanjali, in his Yog Sutras, presents Svadhyaya as one of the Niyamas, ethical observances, in his Ashtanga Yog path. Svadhyaya encompasses various dimensions of self-exploration and learning. It involves studying texts and philosophical treatises, but more important is its focus on knowing our own thoughts and emotions; cultivating an awareness of the Self. According to Svadhyaya, this is the more potent means to self-realisation. The idea: all knowledge is futile till there is a thorough knowledge of the Self. Svadhyaya is not dissimilar to the philosophical maxim espoused by ancient Greek theologians or Immanuel Kant during the Age of Enlightenment.
