The name ‘Govardhana’ has two essential interpretations. In the strict signifying, ‘Go’ means ‘cows’, and ‘vardhana’ means ‘sustenance’. Another significance of ‘Go’ is ‘the faculties’ and ‘vardhana’ can likewise signify ‘to increment’ – consequently the name is additionally deciphered by enthusiasts of Krishna as ‘that which expands the faculties’ in their appreciation for Krishna. In this association, it is accepted that the character of Govardhan favors the aficionado by expanding his dedication (bhakti). Hence, by living in the lower regions of Govardhan Hill, every one of the faculties and the individual obligations of a spirit accomplish heavenly nature and are more disposed to perform administration to Krishna.

Festival: 

Govardhan Puja is commended on the day after Diwali. It is the day whereupon Lord Krishna crushed Indra, the god of thunder and downpour. According to the story, Krishna saw immense arrangements for the yearly contribution to Indra and questions his dad Nanda about it. He bantered with the residents about what their ‘dharma’ genuinely was. They were ranchers, they ought to perform their responsibility and focus on cultivating and assurance of their cows. He kept on saying that all individuals ought to just do their ‘dharma’, to the most awesome aspect their capacity, and not supplicate or lead penances for characteristic wonder. The townspeople were persuaded by Krishna and didn’t continue with the exceptional puja (supplication). Indra was then incensed and overwhelmed the town. Krishna at that point lifted Mt Govardhan and held it up as assurance to his kin and steers from the downpour. Indra at long last acknowledged loss and perceived Krishna as incomparable. This part of Krishna’s life is for the most part overlooked – yet it really set up based on the ‘karma’ reasoning later itemized in the Bhagavad Gita.

As indicated by old Vaishnava legends the Vedic Deva (diving being similar to the heavenly messenger), Indra (lord of downpour and lightning) was dreaded by individuals since he would either give individuals no downpour or flood them on the off chance that he was not happy with their love. At the point when Krishna discovered, he contradicted the presentation of conciliatory love for Indra. He stressed the significance of karma and performing one’s responsibility. This drove Indra crazy at the kid Krishna (one of the manifestations of the Supreme God).

Indra hence conjured numerous mists to show up in the sky and plotted to flood the locale with downpours going on for seven days and seven evenings. Krishna in answer at that point lifted Govardhan Hill, under which every one of the creatures and individuals of the locale took cover, protected from the downpours of Indra’s rage. At last, Indra acknowledged loss. He offered his supplications and left to his grand realm. As per a few sources, the damaging cloud sent by Indra is Sāṁvartaka.

It additionally addresses the ruin of Indra, and a fresh start in Hindu way of thinking, from a more conciliatory/mollification situated love, to a more otherworldly plane of thought. This development of thought in Hinduism was achieved by Krishna, and along these lines he has been the main Hindu god from that point forward – thought about an ‘symbol’ of the incomparable.
