Bala, the Master Teacher ox at Nava Vraja Dhāma

Bala the Master Teacher

Born: 19 January 2010

Bala was the teacher every young ox needed. Calm, patient, and impossible to upset, he had a special gift for helping even the most stubborn or nervous oxen learn their work. Whenever a difficult trainee needed guidance, Bala was the one chosen to lead the way. Together with his longtime partner Déva, he spent many years serving Krishna Valley and training the next generation. Though he even appeared alongside Candhan in the Netflix series Marco Polo, Bala is best remembered for his gentle nature and the wisdom he shared with everyone around him.
