Balarama Appearance Day 2013 Celebrations

Descent of Balarama

Whenever Krishna appears in the material world, He is accompanied by His associates and paraphernalia. Five thousand years ago when Krishna descended into the material world, He was first preceded by Baladeva. Only after Baladeva give His mercy did Krishna descend, such is the intimate relationship between Krishna and Baladeva.

When Baladeva appeared as the seventh child in the womb of Devaki, she could understand that this was a divine child and this made her all the more concerned about His safety. Even Kamsa could sense His potency and he became fearful, thinking he may have been tricked by the prophecy that he will be slain only by the eight child of Devaki. At this time Krishna instructed Yogamaya, His internal potency, to transfer the unborn child from the womb of Devaki to that of Rohini, one of the other wives of Vasudeva, who was hiding from Kamsa in the house of Nanda Maharaja in Gokul.

In this way Balarama was born in Gokul under the protection of Nanda Maharaja. Garga Muni the venerable kulguru (family priest) of the Yadu dynasty revealed to Rohini that the child she was carrying was indeed that of her husband Vasudeva. At the time of the name-giving ceremony he named the child Rama, one who gives all pleasures. Referring to the immense strength of the child, Garga Muni predicted that He will also be known as Balarama (bala meaning strength). Since He was forcibly attracted from the womb of Devaki to that of Rohini, He was also be called Sankarshana. As the son of Rohini He was known as Rohini-nandan and as the elder brother of Krishna He was also called Douji.

BALARAMA APPEARANCE DAY PROGRAM INCLUDES:
7:00pm – Guru Puja
7:15pm – Gaura Aarti
7:45pm – Nrsinghadeva prayer
7:55pm – Announcements
8:00pm – Pastimes & Glories of Lord Balarama by Her Grace Kamala Gopi Devi Dasi
8.45pm – Pushpanjali & Closing kirtana
9:15pm – Announcements & SRI BALARAM MAHA FEAST
9:45pm – Honouring of Prasadam

You are welcome to bring some nice flowers from home to offer for Pushpanjali to Lord Balarama.

We are pleased to announce that ISKCON Brampton will be having the first children’s festival of chariots (Ratha Yatra) in August 2013.  Join us along with your family and friends for this special occasion. Gage Park is located at the intersection of Main St. S. and Wellington St. West in the historic downtown of Brampton. Free underground parking is available beneath City Hall.

The program includes the following:
10:00 am              Opening Kirtan by the Hladini Group
10:45 am              Opening Aarti
11:00 am              Parade – Pulling of the Chariot in the Park
12:00 pm              Final Aarti                    
12:30 pm              Performance by the ISKCON Brampton Sunday School Kids
12:30 pm              Yoga Meltdown (bring your own yoga mat) 
1:00 pm                Closing Kirtan by Gaura Shakti Group 
2:00 pm                Program Ends

There would be lots of fun activities for everyone: gopi dots – traditional face painting, crafts, yoga meltdown, Q & A, kirtan, dance…… and much more.

You are invited to bring ‘bhoga’ – vegetarian food offerings (no onion, garlic, eggs, vinegar) for Lord Krishna. We request that you bring offerings in new 1-2 serving sized aluminum foil containers. Offerings should be fresh and homemade (Nothing bought from store please). Lord Jagannath must be the first to taste your offering, therefore, no tasting or sampling. For more information regarding bhoga preparations, please contact Vidyanidhi Prabhu. 

There is always opportunity to serve. Volunteers are needed for set-up, directing Ratha, prasadam distribution, clean-up. For more information on how you can serve, please contact Aindra Dasa by email vdussoye@gmail.com or call 905-636-9466. For sponsorships, please contact Mother Krsna Smaran (kavitabalram@yahoo.com).

Yoga means to link with God in loving exchange. Lord Krishna teaches in Bhagavad-gita (6.47) that the highest yogi is “he who always abides in Me with great faith, worshiping Me in transcendental loving service.” The Rathayatra Festival is a potent transcendental stimulus for developing love of Godhead. The Rathayäträ procession – The children’s festival of chariots is a spectacular parade of the hand–pulled chariot carrying Lord Jagannath, Baladev and Subadra amidst energetic singing, drumming and dancing – can attract even the materialistic person. By becoming attracted to the Supreme Lord in His form as Jagannatha one loses his attachment to the illusory happiness of the mundane world. Thus simply by seeing the Deities, simply by hearing the transcendental sound vibration of Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, or simply by tasting foodstuffs offered to Krishna, anyone can begin his progress back to Godhead without difficulty. And by applying his energy in understanding the Krishna consciousness movement and participating in glorifying the all-blissful Lord of the universe, one can revive one’s eternal loving relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Lord Balarama Appearance Day – Tuesday August 20th @ 7:00pm

Please mark your calendar for this special event. August 20th @ 7:00pm celebrations of Lord Balarama Appearance day at ISKCON Brampton.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, is the fountainhead of all incarnations. Lord Balarama is His second body. They are both one and the same identity. They differ only in form. Balarama is the first bodily expansion of Krishna, and He assists in Lord Krishna’s transcendental pastimes. He is the source of the entire spiritual world and is the adi-guru, the original spiritual master.

He assumes five other forms to serve Lord Krishna. He Himself helps in the pastimes of Lord Krishna, and He does the work of creation in four other forms called the catur-vyuha (four armed) forms known as Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Anirudha. He executes the orders of Lord Krishna in the work of creation, and in the form of Lord Sesa He serves Sri Krishna in various ways. In all the forms He tastes the transcendental bliss of serving Krishna. No one can approach Krishna without first getting the mercy of Baladeva.

Details about the program will be announced soon.

Harinama Sankirana Saturday June 1st, 10:00am @ Gage Park, Brampton 

“This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious.” Sri Siksastakam

Please join us for this Harinama  at Gage Park on Saturday morning. If you’ve never been on sankirtan before, or if you’ve always wanted to go but never had the time to this is the opportunity to get started. There are various ways to serve; playing drum or kartala, kirtan singing, dancing, distributing books, cards or candies. For more information, please contact Rajneesh Prabhu – rsalwan@ryerson.ca.

Sunday Feast, June 2nd @ 11:00am with His Grace Vijaya Prabhu
We are pleased to invite you to the Sunday Feast with His Grace Vijaya Prabhu. After joining the Krsna consciousness movement in 1978 in Miami Florida, Vijaya prabhu was soon asked to distribute books. He did this well and became the number one distributor. In 1983, he was asked to be the sankirtan leader, which he did and the result was that the Miami temple became a top book distribution center in the country. In 1990, the temple president wanted to do another service, so the administrators asked Vijaya prabhua to be the president. He did so reluctantly, on the condition that he would do it only until they found someone else. As president, he didn’t decrease his book distribution, and after nine months they found someone to replace him. In 1991, he went to Los Angles to distribute books because the areas in Miami had become very difficult to work in. In 1995, inspired by His Holiness Ganapati Swami, Vijaya prabhu started distributing from a book table at universities, and this proved to be very successful, so he is still doing it. In 2002, the GBC asked Vijaya prabhu to be its international minister of book distribution and travel worldwide. Seeing this as an opportunity to increase his service, he accepted, and fortunately book distribution has increased worldwide.
Check out his wonderful website www.ISKCONbookdistribution.com

The program consists of arati, kirtan (devotional chanting), philosophical discussion and prasadam.  Please come, get inspired and inspire others through your desire to share Krsna Consciousness!
