Issue #13 of Sri Krishna Kathamrita magazine, "The Most Merciful Lord".

Discover the depths of devotional tradition with the Sri Krishna Kathamrita series. The collection of beautifully illustrated issues explores various facets of Gaudiya Vaishnavism (Krishna consciousness) drawing from ancient scriptures and the teachings of great spiritual masters.  Each volume is a rich source of Ksna katha - the nectar stories and philosophical discussions concerning the Supreme Lord, His pastimes and His devotees.

Lord Jagannath in Puri is celebrated as Patita Pavana, the savior of the fallen. With new research work, traditional art, and translations of little-known Oriya scriptures, this issue of Sri Krishna Kathamrita looks at the history of the extraordinary kindness Patita Pavana Jagannath has shown on so-called “low-caste” devotees as well as those who are genuinely fallen. It also examines why, if Lord Jagannath is so merciful, the policy of his temple in Puri is to bar entrance to foreigners and others.
