  Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

  May you be blessed with the shelter of the God of Gods,

  the Supreme Refuge, the Maintainer of the universe, the

  Shelter of everything and the Master of everything, the

  Protector of the cows and the brahmanas and the vrajavasis,

  the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna, Who

  made King Indra angry by stopping the sacrifice that was

  about to be offered to him. Being puffed up with pride,

  King Indra then began to cause a great storm and showered

  incessant rain. To protect the vrajavasis from the wrath of

  King Indra, Lord Krishna lifted Govardhana Hill and thereby

  exhibited His extraordinary prowess. Lord Krishna picked up

  Govardhana Hill effortlessly as if it were the plaything of a

  child. Greatly concerned about the protection of the vrajavasis,

  Lord Krishna lifted Govardhana Hill with one hand, just as

  Lord Ananta lifts the universes upon His hood. The hand of

  Lord Krishna acted as the stick of the umbrella that was

  Govardhana Hill. Lord Krishna destroyed the pride of King Indra

  by holding Govardhana Hill upon the little finger of His left

  hand for seven days continuously. Simply by the glance of Lord

  Krishna the hunger and thirst of the vrajavasis were vanquished.

  Lord Krishna stood in a three-fold-bending form with His weight

  on one foot for seven days. He smashed the the resolve of King

  Indra into pieces and thereby stopped the incessant downfall of

  rain. Thereafter, when Lord Krishna placed Govardhana Hill

  back in its original place, the gopis of Vraja worshipped Him by

  offering various ingredients such as yogurt and rice. The devatas

  showered flowers upon Lord Krishna, and king Indra became

  extremely anxious, considering his offence. With love and best

  wishes, take care, bye.
