The Passing of Baladeva Our Beloved Temple Bull Last night we said goodbye to Baladeva, one of the beloved bulls who had lived at our goshala for the past ten years. Born here just one day after Balarama Purnima, Baladeva was the only bull in our herd who was born at the ashram, and for many years he was the strongest and natural leader of the herd. His passing was deeply painful for everyone who had cared for him, and we were able to give him a final farewell surrounded by the holy names, prasadam flowers from Lord Jagannatha, Ganga water, and the love of his devotees.
