Why We Worship Govardhan

  1. Indra's pride

    The people of Vrindavan were preparing a great sacrifice for Indra. Krishna asked them to worship Govardhan Hill instead, which fed their cows and gave them forests, water and grass.

  2. The storm

    Angered, Indra sent torrential rain over Vraja. The people and their cows ran to Krishna for shelter.

  3. Krishna lifts Govardhan

    Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill on the little finger of His left hand and held it for seven days, sheltering everyone beneath it.

  4. Annakoot

    Indra bowed down and the rains stopped. Each year devotees remember this day by offering Annakoot, a mountain of vegetarian dishes, and sharing it as Maha Prasadam.

Offer a seva, and take shelter of Govardhan

Every offering, whatever the amount, is received with love, with sankalpa in your name.
