Not the Yogamaya from this context, as far as I understand. Sri, Bhu and Nila are the Lord's consorts, whereas the Yogamaya we are talking about now is His sister. Of course, you could also take "yogamaya" in the sense "Lord's energy". > > Please note that there are two Subhadras -- the first one, whom > > Kamsa tried to kill, escaped into the sky and is Yogamaya as per SB > > 10 Canto (SB 10.2.6: bhagavän ... yogamäyäà samädiçat), and the > > second one, younger sister of Krsna, is the one, whom Arjuna > > married. > So, which one of them we are worshipping with Jagannatha and Balarama > on the althar?? Arjuna's wife, Krsna's sister by his father Vasudeva, not the daughter of Yasodama (and thus also a sister to Lord Krsna).
