| | Balarama |
 | | Once, when Balarama was intoxicated, he called upon the Yamuna river to come to him, that he might bathe; but his command not being heeded, he plunged his ploughshare into the river, and dragged the waters whithersoever he went, until they were obliged to assume a human form and beseech his forgiveness. | | | According to this view, which is the favorite one of the Vaishnavas, Krishna is a full divinity and Balarama an incarnation; but the story of their birth, as told in the Mahabharata, places them more upon an equality. | | | When Krishna is regarded as a full manifestation of Vishnu, Balarama is recognized as the seventh Avatara or incarnation in his place. |

| | VNN Editorial - Tour Vraja With Raghava, Shrinivasa And Narottama (Part 2) |
| | In the Puranas Baladev Dhyana is written as follows: In this place Rohini Nandana, Balarama, stood in a three fold bending form and blew joyfully on his horn, the sound of which moved the heart of Brahma and others. | | | As Balarama relaxed beneath a tree the guards in heaven sang the glories of Rohini Nandan whose beauty and posture could fasicinate the world. | | | In Srimad Bhagavatam it is stated that Bhagavan Sri Balarama stayed in Vraja for two months and supplied divine enjoyment to the gopis each night. |

| | The Most Auspicious Appearance Day of Lord Sri Balarama |
| | Krsna and Balarama themselves are the origins of all branches of knowledge, yet they concealed their perfect knowledge by performing their wonderful pastimes with Their human-like forms and activities. | | | All glories to Lord Balarama, the son of Rohini. | | | Bringing him from the place of Yamaraja, the 'gurus' son was returned by Krsna, fulfilling the 'guru daksina' as requested. |

| | Out of ignorance, some people disregard the Puranas and reject Balarama's rasa dance as unauthentic. | | | On the radiant full moon night of holi, at the end of sivaratri vrata, Lord Krsna and Lord Balarama, accompanied by Their cowherd boy friends, enjoyed Themselves in the midst of the beautiful maidens of Vrndavana. | | | The sages unequivocally denounce association with women, yet they sung hymns in praise of Balarama's rasa dance with His cowherd damsels. |

| | Doka Dauji (Balarama Stali) |
| | The black Deity of Balarama in this temple is in a crouching position. | | | Dauji is a name for Balarama meaning the “older brother.” Doka is a corruption of the word dekha, which means to see. | | | Because Balarama was attentively looking at Krishna, therefore the Deity is known as Doka Dauji. |

| | Balarama's compassion and mercy are emphasized by Swami Desikan in Daya Satakam, when the Acharya points out that while it is normal for the Lord to disregard misdeeds of the devout, Sri Balarama went to the extent of disregarding those of even the Kauravas. | | | It was Sri Balarama who, through His anushttaanam, popularised this form of Karma Yoga to the world. | | | It is well known that Sri Balarama is an amsam of Sri Adisesha, ever protective of His kid brother Krishna, ensuring that the machinations of Kamsa do not in any way affect Sri Krishna. |

| | Over five thousand years ago today, Lord Balarama appeared in this world in the town of Gokula. | | | Because he was drawn from Devaki's to Rohini's womb, He became known as Lord Sankarsana and because of His strength, He is known as Lord Balarama. | | | Just as Lord Krishna appeared only after Lord Balarama, similarly one requires Lord Krishna's mercy only after attaining the mercy of Lord Balarama. |
