Jaya Baladeva, Jaya Subadra... Krishna Krishna Hare Hare...

So today was the birthday of Balaram. He's Krishna's elder brother, and the origin of Guru, oh yes... And he's everything.. In that, he literally is everything. He manifested into a series of avatars that created the universe. The computer you're using is Baladeva... And so are your clothes, your flesh.. Oh yeah, and your soul too.Cool.Anyway... We had to fast until noon, which is when he was born. Then we stuffed our faces with an obscene amount of food. But before we did that we bathed the deities.We don't have a deity of Balaram in our temple. But we do have Gaura-Nitai. Baladeva is Lord Nityananda Prabhu. So we bathed them in honey, milk, juice and yogurt. Like so:We all got to have a turn bathing the deities with a conchshell full of juice and flowers.Then after the Abisekam (That's the word for it) we ripped up the towels the deities were wearing and tied them to our wrists still soaking wet and drank the Caramrita (The remains of what we washed them with)It was an excellent day, and marks the seven days before Krishna is born, on Janmastami.The rumors are that Sripad Von Maharaja is going to come to our temple for Janmastami :D
