Lord Balarama’s Appearance Day
Balarama Purnima – Balarama Jayanti
Fast till Noon
“The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is the fountain-head of all incarnations. Lord Balarāma is His second body. They are both one and the same identity. They differ only in form. He is the first bodily expansion of Kṛṣṇa, and He assists in Lord Kṛṣṇa’s transcendental pastimes.”
(Caitanya-Caritāmṛta Adi 5.4-5, Purport)
