Balarama Meditations...

From the notes of Kadamba Kanana Swami

Balarama is the elder brother of Krsna and also the direct expansion of Krsna. He is non-different from Krsna; in fact, the same Supreme Personality of Godhead, Balarama and Krsna, appear in two forms but in these two forms They have a different mood. Krsna is the supreme enjoyer, Krsna is the one to whom all sacrifices are being offered to, Krsna is the controller of all the planetary systems...In this way Krsna is always the Supreme Lord.

But Balarama is the Lord in a mood of a servant. He is the Supreme servant. He is always serving Krsna and it is said that Balarama experiences the greatest pleasure, even greater than Krsna, because in service there is greater pleasure than in taking...
