Balarama Purnima – 28 August 2026
Balarama Purnima marks the divine appearance of Lord Balarama, the elder brother of Lord Sri Krishna and the original Spiritual Master (Adi-Guru).
Lord Balarama represents spiritual strength (bala), service, humility, and devotion. His mercy gives devotees the strength to overcome obstacles and remain steady on the path of Krishna consciousness.
For devotees visiting ISKCON Vrindavan, Balarama Purnima is especially sacred because Vrindavan is the land of Lord Balarama and Lord Krishna's eternal childhood pastimes.
On this auspicious festival, devotees can take shelter of Sri Sri Krishna-Balarama, participate in kirtan, hear their glories, and offer devotional service from anywhere in the world.
