Sri Balarama- Krishna's brother. He played Sri Balarama, Sri Krishnas brother in the Krishna Lila, the plays about the life of Lord Krishna in the most holy town of India for Vaisnavas: Janmashtami is Krishnas birthday.

Janmashtami commemorates the earthly appearance of Krishna, who is described in India’s sacred writings as God Himself. One of the biggest religious festivals in the world, it is celebrated by nine hundred and thirty million people around the world–and two million in the US alone. To devotees, it’s Christmas and New Year’s in one, a day of deep spiritual renewal and celebration that effectively finishes an old year and begins a fresh one.

 

Raas Lila forms the most enchanting and the most devotional play (Lila) of Sri Krishna. It depicts the supersensual love between cowgirls (milkmaids) (Gopis) of Vrindavan and Sri Krishna.
