Balaram Jayanti

Balaram Jayanti honors the appearance of Lord Balarama, elder brother of Krishna and the original spiritual master (adi-guru).

Balarama is revered for his strength, simplicity and guidance; his pastimes teach humility and dedication to duty.

Celebrations include kirtan, reading of Balarama’s pastimes, and distribution of prasadam.

Temples often highlight Balarama’s role as a teacher and protector, sharing lessons from his life.

At Ahilya Nagar we host special classes and a communal feast on this day.

At ISKCON Ahilya Nagar we celebrate with kirtan, scriptural discourses, community feasts and devotional service. All are welcome.
