    Govardhana Puja

    My Dear Father (Krishna): My dear Father


    What is this plan for a sacrifice? Please explain it to me
    Is it a Vedic injunction, or a popular ceremony?
    (Nanda): My dear boy, this function is traditional
    We have to thank Lord Indra for kindly sending rainfall
    We cannot live without the rain for farming and producing grain
    (Krishna): My dear Father
    Let us not worship Indra; We have our duties to perform
    Rain will come from the clouds above and not by worshipping him
    Rain is falling on the ocean and on the land as well
    Besides, we have our relationship
    With the Brahmin men and Govardhana Hill
    We are satisfied living in this forest of Vrindavana
    So let us take the grains and ghee collected for the yajna
    To satisfy our Govardhana, and nevermind Lord Indra!
    Govardhana Puja (Krishna):
    Dear friends, please prepare rice, dahl, halavah
    Puri, pakora, laddu, rasagulla, sandesh, sweet rice, then call the brahmanas
    Grains for the Brahmin men chanting the Vedic hymns
    Decorate the cows, feed them well
    Keeping them in front, circumambulate the hill
    Govardhana puja, Govardhana puja; Lots of prasada, even for candalas
    Govardhana puja, Govardhana puja; If you neglect Govardhana worship
    You may be killed by the snakes on the hill
    All the people of Vrindavana, for your good fortune
    And the fortune of your cows as wellworship Govardhana Hill
    Samvartaka Cloud (Indra):Samvartaka Cloud, go destroy Vrindavana
    They have stopped the sacrifice which was meant for me
    Samvartaka Cloud, inundate their homes. They have taken Krishna so seriously
    Go and I will follow you, riding on my elephant
    Great storms will come with me to give the proper punishment
    Pour down the rain now, all you clouds
    They should be destroyed along with their cows!
    Indras Sending Rain (Residents of Vrindavana):
    Indras sending rain like sharp, piercing arrows
    See it falling down as thick as pillars
    Thunder, lightning, ice is falling too
    Heavy winds are blowingwhat can we do?
    This is a dangerous situation; clouds are pouring water w/out cessation
    Krishna, save us! You are very strong; All the land will flood before very long
    Every living creature is trembling from the cold
    And we find no source of deliverance
    Krishna, You are affectionate to Your devotees
    Now please save us from angry IndraKrishna, Krishna, dear Krishna!
    Dont Be Afraid (Krishna):
    My dear father, my dear brothers, dear inhabitants of this land
    Now I have lifted the hill of Govardhana
    Dont be afraid and think it will fall from the little finger of My hand

    You have all been afflicted by heavy rain & winds that were sent by Indra
    Now be protected by this big umbrella
    Bring your cows and come under the hill; Be happy together
    (Residents) Were not hungry. Were not thirsty. We dont even want to sleep
    Krishna lifted up the hill and then we entered underneath
    Were not hungry. Were not thirsty. We dont even want to sleep
    We just wonder how Krishna held the hill for one whole week!
    Krishna, we are happy all together / Be happy together
    Indras Apology & Krishnas Mercy (Indra, King of Heaven):
    My dear Lord, being puffed up by my false prestige
    I thought You took my offerings, and this offended me
    But I am the offender, with my anger and ignorance
    Sending rain and hailstorms to cause You disturbance
    You have shown me Your kindness although I am only foolish
    Within this material world, many fools like me
    Will falsely claim to be God
    But without giving punishment, You find the means
    So their false pride will soon be destroyed
    Coming to my sense, I now take shelter unto Your lotus feet
    You are my master; the most powerful
    The son of Vasudeva; The Supreme Lord Krishna!
    Please excuse me, I am fool-number-one
    And bless me so that I may never act that way again
    (Lord Krishna): My dear Indra, I have stopped your sacrifice
    To show My causeless mercy
    And to revive your memory that I remain your master eternally
    I am the master of the demigods as well
    Everyone should always remember that I am the Supreme Lord
    I can show anyone my favor or chastise anyone
    For no one is superior to Me
    If I find that someone is falsely proud of opulence that came from Me
    Then I show My favor by withdrawing it
    And that is My causeless mercy
    Return to the heavens; Remain there as the king
    Always be My servant, for I am the Supreme
    My dear Indra, I have stopped your sacrifice
    To show My causeless mercy
    And to revive your memory that I remain your master eternally
