Govardhan Puja Festival In Vrindavan

Under Category:

During that ancient Period, Lord Krishna convinced the cowherd men to worship Govardhana, instead of doing a sacrifice to please Lord Indra, the king of heaven, who is in charge of the rain. Krishna told the cowherd men that Govardhana Hill was supplying so many necessities and should be worshiped instead. After then Nanda Maharaja and the cowherd men called in learned brahmanas and began to worship Govardhana Hill by chanting Vedic hymns and offering prasadam. In order to convince the devotees that Govardhana Hill and Krishna himself was identical he assumed a great transcendental form and declared himself as Govardhana Hill. Krishna began to eat all the food offered there. The identity of Krishna and Govardhana Hill is still honoured, and devotees take rocks from Govardhana Hill and worship them as Lord Krishna.
