Jagannath.

Yes, Lord Jagannath is widely understood in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition — and especially in the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu — as an ecstatic form of Krishna.

Here’s how:

1. 

Ecstasy of Separation (Viraha-bhāva)

Lord Jagannath’s unique form — with large round eyes, a smiling face, no visible eyelids or fully formed limbs — is interpreted as Krishna in an intense state of ecstatic emotion, particularly:

• Krishna in Dvārakā, remembering and feeling separation from Vrindavan, from Radha and the gopīs.
• His form is seen as overwhelmed with bhāva (spiritual emotion), expressing divine longing.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, when seeing Jagannath, would often weep and say:

“This is Krishna overwhelmed by the mood of Radha.”

2. 

Mahābhāva-dhārī Krishna

According to Gaudiya theology:

• Krishna wanted to experience Radha’s love for Him.
• So He appeared as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, assuming Her mood (bhāva) and complexion (kānti).
• Lord Jagannath is Krishna touched by Radha’s bhāva — a snapshot of that intoxicated, divine love.

3. 

Jagannath Ratha Yatra Symbolism

The annual Ratha Yatra in Puri is deeply symbolic:

• Jagannath (Krishna), Balabhadra (Balarama), and Subhadra return from Dvārakā to Vrindavan.
• Devotees interpret it as Krishna’s longing to reunite with the gopīs, especially Radha.

In Summary:

Yes, Lord Jagannath is Krishna, but not in His usual majestic or sweet form — rather in a deeply ecstatic and emotionally overwhelmed form, filled with divine longing and love, especially in separation. His form embodies rasa (spiritual emotion) at its highest.
