Just one day to go before Balaram Jayanti festival, we beseech you to take full advantage of these opportunities to render service at the Lotus feet of Balaramji!

In Mayapur, Balaram Purnima is celebrated in a grand way. Also, the culmination of the Jhulan festival adds grandeur to the festival. Small Sri Sri Radha -Madhava deities will swing in the Jhulan Mantap which is gorgeously decorated with flowers. Honey pot breaking festival also takes place with great pomp. Balaram Purnima also marks the beginning of Janmastami festival celebrations. Be a part of this festival by choosing any seva dear to your heart!
“That Maha-Visnu who lies on the Causal Ocean is an expansion of Balarama, who is Krsna’s first expansion, and, in the Vrndavana pastimes, is the brother of Krsna. In the maha-mantra Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, the word Rama refers to Balarama. Since Nityananda is an expansion of Balarama, Rama also refers to Lord Nityananda. Thus, Hare Krsna, Hare Rama addresses not only Krsna and Balarama but Lord Caitanya and Nityananda as well.”
