Why did Srila Prabhupada not enter the temple of Jagannath in Puri for Darshan in January 1977? Prabhupada: I did not visit Jagannatha Puri because my men are not allowed to see the deity. When you make arrangements so that we can visit the temple with my disciples, then I can go immediately. Now, when Jagannatha has expanded His jurisdiction over the world, why should the so-called servants of Jagannatha not allow them to see the Lord of the Universe? I do not know their philosophy. (Letter to Syamasundara - Bombay, April 8, 1974)
