All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances. I am having some confusion regarding the story of Jagannath. Why did he appear with His brother and sister?
Hare Krsna,

This is what I had heard from a devotee long back. One day in Dwaraka, Krishna and Balaram had asked Subhadra to spy on the maids and Rukmani. So, Subhadra was doing her duty promptly and was hearing their discussion. They were discussing about the childhood pastimes of Krishna and Balaram in Vrindavan. Hearing upon this, Subhadra went into ecstasy. Her Eyes were WIDE open mouth was a wide open with a smile. The body also shrink in size. In the mean time, Balaram came to the spot and saw the situation of Subhadra who had lost external conciseness. He thought of hearing what is being discussed inside and when he heard the pastimes they had performed in Vrindavan, he also went into Ecstasy and developed similar symptoms as Subhadra. All this was happening when Krishna also appeared there and he also had similar Ecstasy. They were standing just like how Jagannath Baladev and Subhadra stand in Puri today and Rukamani happen to see this and she desired to have the deities of their lordships in this form. There is another pastime where the King who wanted to worship Lord as Neela Madhava and finally got the deities of Jagannath Baladev and Subhadra devi.
Hari bol!!!
Its a long past time to describe in a discussion. But what is the confusion?
