Balarama Jayanti
→ Ramai Swami

“Sri Baladeva is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. He is equal in supremacy to the Supreme Godhead, yet wherever Krsna appears, Sri Baladeva appears as Krsna’s brother, sometimes elder, sometimes younger” (SB 10.1.24p).

“In His vaibhava-prakasa feature, Lord Krsna manifests Himself as Balarama. And the Balarama feature is as good as Krsna Himself, the only difference being that the bodily hue of Krsna is dark and that of Balarama is fair” (TLC chapter 7).

“These two Lords, Krsna and Balarama, are each the seed and womb of the universe, the creator and His creative potency. They enter the hearts of living beings and control their conditioned awareness. They are the primeval Supreme” (SB 10.46.31v).

“Sri Balarama is the servitor Godhead who serves Lord Krsna in all affairs of existence and knowledge. The transcendental abode exists by the energy of Lord Balarama. Krsna’s first expansion in a form for pastimes is Balarama. Balarama Himself helps in the pastimes of Lord Krsna and he does the work of creation in four other forms. In all forms Balarama tastes the transcendental bliss of serving Krsna” (cc adi 4.8-11v).

Once again, I attended one of our temples in Bali to celebrate the appearance festival of Lord Balarama.
