Lord Jagannatha is the special merciful form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna : the all attractive Lord of the entire universe. On the shore of the great ocean, He resides with His powerful brother Balabhadra and His sister Subhadra, who sits between Them.

In His Universal Form, as described in Chapter Eleven of the Gita, Lord Krishna manifests Himself as the entir cosmic manifestation, incuding all life and planetary systems. He is the greatest of the great and He is also the smallest of the small. For the ease of His parts and parcels who are estranged from Krishna Consciousness and trapped in the material world, He descends as incarnations in His most merciful Deity forms, such as Lord Jagannath. The Absolute Truth is inconceivable, beyond the reach of the philosophers’ speculation, but the devotee who is willing to go back to Godhead can have easy access to Him. He can offer Him foodstuffs and eat the sanctified remnants, he can dress Him and glorify Him on the Rath yatra car journey. None of this is done whimsically with any material sentiment, but strictly according to the rules chalked out by the great spiritual masters, who have themselves never disdained the presence of the Lord in the Deity Form.

These deities of Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra preside in Talvan BACE and all activities and projects of the BACE are solely executed for Their pleasure
