<div class="heading">No. Jagannātha, that is another history. King Indradyumna, he wanted to establish a temple of that incidence, and that the Deities while being carved would remain unfinished. So, he was very impatient to establish, so he established the unfinished Deity. That is Jagannātha.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- Honolulu, May 20, 1976 (New-2003)|Room Conversation -- Honolulu, May 20, 1976 ]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Who published it?</p>
<p>Devotee (5): Uhh, I don't know who printed it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That you did not ask?</p>
<p>Devotee (5): Rameśvara didn't know anything about who printed it or how many copies were printed or anything. He said all he knew was that it was put together by Bahulāśva and Dharmādhyakṣa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So ask them.</p>
<p>Devotee (5): I have to, to contact them and find out how it was actually... Should I write them a letter?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He just sent one letter. You, you write.</p>
<p>Devotee (5): This letter? (pause)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh he, he is informed you are going?</p>
<p>Devotee (5): Rameśvara? Oh, yeah. They're waiting.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So, (indistinct).</p>
<p>Devotee (5): Well, they sent the tickets today, but we have not made the reservation yet. We were waiting for them to... (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...that place was selected...</p>
<p>Devotee (5): Hmm.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...for (indistinct). (indistinct)</p>
<p>Devotee (7): Do you want to establish one center there?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (indistinct).</p>
<p>Devotee (7): Yeah, I would like to help.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
<p>Devotee (7): I would like to help.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. .....break.....</p>
<p>Devotee (7): ...(indistinct)?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Especially when there is...</p>
<p>Devotee (7): (indistinct)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This Ratha-yātrā is in memory of Kṛṣṇa's coming there with His brother and sister during one eclipse, to take bath, coming from Dvārakā.</p>
<p>Devotee (7): And the gopīs  also assembled there?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The gopīs got the information that Kṛṣṇa is coming from Dvārakā, so from Vṛndāvana they went to see Him. And when Kṛṣṇa and Rādhārāṇī met, that Rādhārāṇī lamented that Kṛṣṇa—He was the same Kṛṣṇa and the same Rādhārāṇī—so "this is not a good meeting place. So, if You come to Vṛndāvana, then I shall be happy." So it is inviting Kṛṣṇa to Vṛndāvana. That is the feeling of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Ratha-yātrā. He is inviting Kṛṣṇa to Vṛndāvana. So in Jagannātha Purī still the same feelings are there. Kṛṣṇa, Jagannātha, from the temple goes to Guṇḍicā. So, Lakṣmī is angry that "Kṛṣṇa is leaving me, He has gone to Vṛndāvana." So she was, she is punishing. That is called Herā-pañcamī. Punishing the servants of Kṛṣṇa. The maidservants of Lakṣmī chastising them, threatened them, "Why without permission?" So they, out of very fearful condition, offering their respect to Lakṣmī, "Mother, you don't be sorry (indistinct), we are (indistinct)." So this, this is the play performed, and Caitanya Mahāprabhu associates they saw, and they enjoyed very much when the maidservant of Lakṣmī was slapping the servant of Viṣṇu. That is mentioned Caitanya-caritāmṛta. All the servants arrested, brought before Lakṣmī, and they are punished. But they came to invite Kṛṣṇa, Rādhārāṇī and other gopīs. And actually they do not go at that time. But this Ratha-yātrā ceremony means Kṛṣṇa is coming from Dvārakā to Kurukṣetra. This is the history of Ratha-yātrā.</p>
<p>Devotee (5): Do they have any temples of Lord Jagannātha there? They have any temples of Lord Jagannātha in Kurukṣetra?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. Jagannātha, that is another history. King Indradyumna, he wanted to establish a temple of that incidence, and that the Deities while being carved would remain unfinished. So, he was very impatient to establish, so he established the unfinished Deity. That is Jagannātha.</p>
<p>Devotee (7): The nondevotees cannot understand...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They are being carved, Kṛṣṇa's wood form, but he was so impatient, he said "Whatever is done now, establish." It is said that Viśvakarmā was enquiring. So the term was, Viśvakarmā said that "Unless I finish, don't open the door." So this king, he went impatiently, and calling out whether he is finished. Then he forced, forcibly opened the door, and it was unfinished. So he said "Never mind, (indistinct)." Unfinished Kṛṣṇa (indistinct). So Kṛṣṇa, finished or unfinished, is Kṛṣṇa. That is omnipotency. That is Jagannātha form, (indistinct) doesn't matter finished or unfinished. (end)</p>
