Lord
Krsna and
Balarama are not two different Personalities of Godhead. God
is one without a second, but He expands Himself in many forms without
their being separate from one another. They are all plenary expansions.
The immediate expansion of Lord Krsna is Balarama. Lord Balarama is as
good as Krishna Himself, the only difference being that the bodily hue
of Krishna is dark and that of Balarama is fair.

Lord Balarama is the source of all
spiritual power (bala) which helps one attain the highest bliss of life
(ramana) and hence the name Balarama. He is the protector of the
devotees of the Lord. Without His mercy one cannot approach the Supreme
Lord Sri Krishna.
The history of Lord Balarama’s
appearance is unique. He appeared in the womb of Devaki as her seventh
son (the first six sons were killed by her brother Kamsa) and was then
transferred to the womb of Rohini. He lived in the land of Vraja with
His brother Sri Krishna and performed many wonderful pastimes. He killed
demons like Dhenukasura, Pralambasura, Dvivida and Balvala.
