This is Talavana, which means it is Balarama’s place. He is also the basic energy of the spiritual world or the sandhini-sakti, the existence potency. Even the kartals should never be put on the ground because it is Balarama. He has that strength because He is serving Krsna in unlimited ways: as His personal paraphernalia, His bed, shoes and the instruments we use in kirtan. “ Bala” means strength so Balarama is the giver of spiritual strength. Krsna is the instructor, the speaker of the Bhagavad-gita, and Balarama plants the transcendental knowledge within our hearts. Balarama is the one who prepares the heart. He carries a plough, used to prepare the ground for planting. Lord Balarama is very much on our mind today. Check out Maharaja’s full kirtan and lecture below, along with a few photos, at Talavana during Parikrama 2018. We come here in prayer to Lord Balarama as He prepares the heart and gives spiritual strength. In 2018, His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami took us to Talavana, where Lord Balarama killed the demon Dhenukasura.
