Lord Balarama less present in Vrindavana than Bhuvanesvara such nonsense

In this lecture from 1990 ,20th Aug 1990 Gaura Govinda Maharaja boast that Balarama in Bhuvanesvara is more prominent than anywhere even at Krsna Balarama mandir in Vrindavana, I take great offence to this as Krsna Balarama was personally installed by Srila Prabhupada.He did not name this temple Radha Shymasundara mandir but Krsna Balarama mandir.This is Raman Reti the place where Krsna and Balarama ,especially Lord Balarama performed many lilas.Plus When Krsna and Balarama leave Vrindavana they are Vasudeva expansion.However if we accept that the abode of Vrindavna can manifest in the heart of devotees outside of Vraja then we must see that Lord Balarama appears everywhere.With or without His murti form.Sadly this is a rare appasiddhanta of HH Gaura Govinda Maharaja.But as it was stated to encourage his neophyte disciples,.... 
But in order to defend Krsna Balarama in Vrindavana I am writting this.Srila Prabhupada has also glorified Raman Reti in 10 canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.Srimati Radharanis presence does not make Lord Balarama inferior in any way ,or His presence .Devotees of Lrod Balarama sees  Him everwhere
While staying in Chatikara it is said that Krishna and Balarama would come with  the cowherd boys to Raman Reti daily to . It is also said that Krishna and Radharani would meet  here every night, before going to Vrindavana to enjoy Their pastimes. This area  is located a few km from the main downtown area. The Krishna Balarama Temple is  located in Raman Reti.
There are two , about a six minute walk from the ISKCON temple, on  the parikrama path. These two interwined trees are . The black tree is said to  represent Krishna and the white tree, Balarama. They are known as the  Krishna-Balarama tree.

Sri Nityananda-Rama’s Merciful Strength
Srila Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja
A lecture given on theSrimad Bhagavatam, 7.15.46 recorded on the 20th Aug 1990 in Bhubaneswar, India
Lord Nityananda has merciful strength, krpa-bala, you see. His merciful strength is required. Unless one gets the merciful strength of Nityananda Balarama one cannot get out of this extremely fearful and dangerous situation of material existence. It is like a very deep, dark well, blind dark well. No, not at all possible, not at all possible.     So Narada Muni says this thing. Everyone should be very, very careful and one should pray for such merciful strength from Lord Balarama or Lord Nityananda, Gaura-Nitai or Krsna-Balarama.
This is a Special Temple
This is a special temple. The ‘Bhubaneswar Temple’ is a Krsna Balarama temple, so this is available here, baba! You’ll never get this anywhere, do you understand? Especially at this Krsna Balarama temple, Balaram’s influence is very great here. Balarama is very, very influential here, do you understand?      In other places you’ll find Radharani is there. In Vrndavana, Prabhupada opened a Krsna Balarama temple but Radharani is there. Krsna and Radharani and the sakhis are there. Radharani is very influential there in Vrndavana. All say “Jaya Radhe!” Nobody says anything else, you see. Radharani is so much influential in Vrndavan; even Krsna is not influential there.     Though Srila Prabhupada constructed Krsna Balarama mandir in Vrndavana, Balarama is not so much influential, it is Radharani. Here, in Bhubaneswar it is a Krsna Balaram mandir but no Radharani is here. So Balarama is very influential here, do you understand?
All The Mercy is Extracted Here! 
This is a very special temple. The last temple of Srila Prabhupada, do you understand? All the mercy is extracted here! Sri Balaram’s mercy, Lord Balaram’s mercy. It is Gaura-Nitai and Krsna Balarama here but no Radharani. Krsna Balarama... Balarama is very, very strong here, very, very influential. He distributes that mercy freely here. “Take!” Unless you ‘Take’... you see here, ‘This person’ –‘nacet,’ specifically ‘This person’ – ‘nacet,’ nacet means, ‘If you don’t.’ If we do not follow the instruction of Acyuta, Krsna and do not take the shelter of Balarama, how can we get out of this deep dark well? You see, nacet, cannot.
This Opportunity is Given Here!
So this opportunity is given here, here! At this Krsna Balarama mandir, here in Bhubaneswar, nowhere else in the world! Never, never, you’ll never find! This is special, this is unique. Srila Prabhupada’s unique temple, last temple. Srila Prabhupada has extracted all the mercy and has poured it here, do you understand? Yes! This gives you an opportunity to get out of this material existence. To get this merciful strength of Lord Balarama - Nityananda, and be strong! To get out of this dangerous, very dangerous, fearful situation of material existence which is compared to a very deep, dark well. No other way is there.
