In today's Sanga, I did not understand the meaning of a couple of terms. First, "bhakta abhiman mula balarama." Where does this quote come from? Second, what/who is Mula-Sankarsana?
Thank you!

The quote is from Caitanya-caritamrta Adi 6.88. It means that Balarama is the root (mula) of the serving ego (bhakta-abhimana).
Mula-Sankarsana is an expansion of Balarama, the "root" or original Sankarsana. Sankarsana means "he who draws together." This is a big topic and is explained in the Cc as well in the Adi lila.
