Balarama's function?

[Sirona]

If Shri Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead - what then is Shri Balarama for?

Loka, lokeSu, LokanAth lokera jIvana

Facility, circumstance, dimension, existence...

Most important: to argue with KRSNa. To disagree.

Kuruxetra yes, Kuruxetra no, SubhadrArjun yes, SubhadrArjun no, etc.

Someone to delegate who in turn delegates to whom, who in turn...

Bureaucracy at Its Best

[Tarun]

According to ZrIla ZrIdhardev, Baladev has 62 of KRSNa's 64.

Can you name them? Not Them, them, those last 2 of 4.

In Srimad-Bhagavatam, 10.8.22, Srila Prabhupada writes:

 

"Thereafter, Lord Krsna, along with Balarama, began to play with the other children of the cowherd men, thus awakening the transcendental bliss of the cowherd women."

 

PURPORT

 

"The word saha-ramah, meaning “along with Balarama,” is significant in this verse. In such transcendental pastimes, Krsna is the chief hero, and Balarama provides additional help."

Both Gurus Bhaktivallabha TIrtha & BhaktivedAnta NArAyaN have made amazing statements concerning Baldev Prabhu.

Rel. of KriSNA with his brother:

Black - White

 

Rel. of Rama with his brothers:

1 = 1/2 + 1/2;

1/2 = 1/4 + 1/4;

1/4 = 1/8 + 1/8;

Modern autos (last I looked) only go up to 5 speed.

What a shame.

For Baldev-kathA we'll need minimum 6th & 7th gear.

Lord Balarama's position is servitor Godhead, and if you go in Caitanya-lila, with Balarama being Nityananda He is the Supreme Guru.

 

That is what I remember reading in books from previous acaryas.
