Balaram

Lord Sri Krsna, the Personality of Godhead, along with Balarama, played like a human being, and so masked He performed many superhuman acts.

In the nineteenth and twentieth appearances, the Lord advented Himself as Lord Balarama and Lord Krsnaa in the family of Vrsnis [the Yadu dynasty], and by so doing He removed the burden of the world.

The original Personality of Godhead, the enjoyer, and Balarama, the primeval Lord Ananta, are staying in the ocean of the Yadu dynasty for the welfare, protection and general progress of the entire universe. And the members of the Yadu dynasty, being protected by the arms of the Lord, are enjoying life like the residents of the spiritual sky

There are three Ramas. One Rama is Parasurama (Jamadagnya), another Rama is Lord Ramacandra, and a third Rama is Lord Balarama.

The origin of the material creation is Maha-Vishnu, who lies in the Causal Ocean. While He sleeps in that ocean, millions of universes are generated as He exhales, and they are all annihilated when He inhales. This Maha-Vishnu is a plenary portion of a portion of Vishnu, Govinda. The word kala refers to a plenary portion of a plenary portion. From Krsna, or Govinda, comes Balarama; from Balarama comes Shankarsan; from Shankarshan, Narayana; from Naryana, the second Shankarshan; from the second Shankarshan, Maha-Vishnu; from Maha-Vishnu, Garbhodakasayi Vishnu; and from Garbhodakasayi Vishnu, Khsirodakasayi Vishnu. Khirodakshayi Vishnu controls every universe. This gives an idea of the meaning of ananta, unlimited.
