'Govardhan-lila'.


He was seven years old when Krishna was doing many kinds of greens in Vrindavan. Once Vrindavan residents were preparing Kashik. Then out of curiosity he asked Nandbawa- 'Father. What festival is being prepared for? ' Then Nandbawa said, 'Son, everyone is preparing for the senses. Lord Indra is the lord of the raining clouds. It gives water in the form of rain which is why we are happy.

'Krishna understood this.' Father, what is the need of Indra when every animal is enjoying the fruits of its own deeds? ' The forest, Govardhan mountain and Yamuna river are our base. So really we should worship cows, Brahmins and Govardhana. Krishna explained to Nandji. Not only that, this word was uttered by all the people of Vraja. And an innovative plan was devised against a tradition. The material which was collected for Indrayagya. It was decided to perform Govardhanayagna from the same material.

Many kinds of dishes were made, all the milk of Vraja was collected. Vedapathi Brahmins got ready. All the gopis were dressed up and ready. All gathered at Surabhikund at the foothills of Giriraj. Annakut was held. The lamps were lit - Giriraj was circumambulated while sitting in a bullock cart and chanting Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna assumed a huge body and said 'Shailosmi' I am Giriraja.

When Indra heard this, he became angry. He sent a group of clouds named Sanvartak to destroy the rain on the tree. There were thunderstorms, lightning, darkness, and torrential rain. All panicked. Surrendered to Krishna. Krishna calmed them down. Krishna lifted Giriraj-mountain with his left hand in a blink of an eye. He held the mountain for seven days. Seeing this influence of Krishna's Yogamaya, Indra became proud. She understood Krishna's green. Not only that, he fell on his feet and praised. 'You are my lord, you are my guru and you are my soul.' (Ishwar Gurumatma's Tvamah Sharan Gat :)

Annakut is held every year on the day of Kartak Sudi-1. Shri Mahaprabhuji did Biraji Shri Bhagavat Saptah here on Sundarshila in front of Girirajaji's Kandra on Shripuja Shila After the completion, Dipotsavi Utsav and Annakut Utsav were celebrated. The first day of the sitting year is also called Pratipada Day. On this day, Baliraja, who was freed from the abyss, became the king of the earth again. Krishna's Govardhana-lila tells us that cow, Govardhana mountain and nature are real gods. Which is your support. Worship Him. (Karmaiv Gururishwar :) Karma is the Guru. Karma is God.

Krishna explains the principle of karma to Nandabhava (and to the people of Vraja) - (Bhagavat Dasham: A-2 verse 12)

'Karmana Jayate Jantu: Karmanaiv Viliyate

Happiness, sorrow, fear, well-being, karmanaivabhipadyate.

Animals are produced according to their karma and die from karma. He attains happiness, sorrow, fear and welfare only according to his deeds.
