Please, Bhaktivedanta Swami, please come here.

So, when Prabhupada developed some sulkiness, abhimana, that stopped him from coming to Orissa, Lord Shiva repeatedly requested of him, "Please, Bhaktivedanta Swami, please come here." At last, he accepted. He came to Siva-kshetra, the entrance to Purushottama-kshetra, Sri-kshetra, Jagannath Puri Dham. Prabhupada came and thought to build a Krishna Balaram temple here. Now his desire has taken shape. One who comes to this kshetra, first must pass through the entrance. Then he can enter into the nabha, middle portion, and see Jagannath. Lord Shiva welcomes you at the door.

Srila Prabhupada did not think to build a temple in Jagannath Puri. He wanted to construct one at the entrance, in Bhubaneswar Dham. This is significant. Mahaprabhu entered Sri-kshetra through this same gate. He visited the Lingaraj temple of Lord Shiva. He and the devotees did kirtana and danced there. They bathed in Bindu Sarovara, the place where Shivaji called all the celestial rivers to gather. Mahaprabhu taught how Lord Shiva is a great devotee. Shiva is kshetra-pala, the guardian of the dhama. Before entering, you must see him and get his permission. Otherwise you cannot enter. So one should beg his permission. And Shivaji will welcome the devotee with folded hands, saying, “Please come and see Jagannath.”
