O jiva soul, arise and give up your sleep. Chant the holy names of Lord Hari, who is the giver of liberation; the enemy of the Mura demon; the supreme enjoyer; the all-attractive one; and the horse-headed incarnation, Hayagriva. 2) Lord Hari [Krsna] incarnated as the half-man, half-lion, Nrsimha. He appeared as a dwarf-brahmana named Upendra and is the killer of the Madhu demon. He is the beloved son of the King of Vraja, Nanda Maharaja, and is blackish in complexion. He is the slayer of the Putana witch and the destroyer of the demon Kaitabha. All glories to Lord Hari, who appeared as Lord Rama, the son of King Dasaratha. 3) He is the darling of mother Yasoda; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses; and the protector of the cows. He is the Lord of the Vrndavana forest; the gopis' beloved; the lover of Radhika; and the most beautiful personality in all the worlds. 4) As Ramacandra He brought about the end of the demoniac King Ravana; as Krsna He stole the older gopis' butter; He stole the younger gopis' clothes while they were bathing in the Yamuna. He is a cowherd boy of Vraja and the protector of the cowherd boys. He steals the hearts of all and always holds a flute. 5) Lord Krsna is worshiped by the best of yogis and is the son of Nanda. He removes all the fears of the inhabitants of Vraja. He is the color of a fresh rain cloud, and His form is enchanting. When He wanders about, playing His flute, He looks very charming. 6) He is the son of Yasoda and the killer of King Kamsa, and He sports in the rasa dance among the groves of Vraja. Krsna engages in this rasa dance underneath the kadamba trees, and He resides in the forest of Vrndavana. 7) He increases the ecstasy of His devotees. He is the reservoir of all love and is the transcendental Cupid who uses His flowered arrows to increase the loving desires of the gopis. He is the pleasure of the gopis' hearts and the abode of all wonderful qualities. 8) Lord Krsna is the life of the River Yamuna. He is always absorbed in amorous pastimes, and He is the moon of the gopis' minds, which are like the cakora birds that subsist only upon moonlight. O mind, obey these words of mine and sing the glories of Sri Krsna in the form of these holy names, which are full of nectarean mellows.

In the heart of Vraja, where every stone is sacred and every step a meditation, Govardhan Parikrama is more than just a ritual—it's a transformational experience. In this Wisdom of the Sages Q & A episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the profound meaning of circumambulating sacred places and why yogis across generations have honored Govardhan Hill as Krishna Himself. Why do Bhakti yogis walk barefoot around Govardhan? What happens when we physically express our devotion? And how does this practice align with the deepest truths of the yoga tradition? Raghunath & Kaustubha take on these and other interesting questions.

“O sober Vidura, King Indra, his honor having been insulted, poured water incessantly on Vrindavana, and thus the inhabitants of Vraja, the land of cows, were greatly distressed. But the compassionate Lord Krishna saved them from danger with His pastime umbrella, the Govardhana Hill.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 3.2.33)

With a gesture, therefore, he prompted the ladies to do something.

So what to speak of how these affected the residents of Vraja.

“Devotional service rendered to Me by the living beings revives their eternal life. O My dear damsels of Vraja, your affection for Me is your good fortune, for it is the only means by which you have obtained My favor. (Lord Krishna, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 10.82.44)
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 7 Text 106 aho bhāmini jānīhi tat tan mama mahā-sukham mahimāpi sa māṁ hitvā tasthau tatrocitāspade TRANSLATION Ah, willful woman, please understand. All that I relished in Vraja gave Me the highest pleasure. And though the glory of those times has now abandoned Me, it still resides in that most worthy place.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 79 śrīmad-uddhava uvāca na rāja-rājeśvaratā-vibhūtīr na divya-vastūni ca te bhavattaḥ na kāmayante 'nyad apīha kiñcid amutra ca prāpyam ṛte bhavantam TRANSLATION Śrīmān Uddhava said: The people of Vraja don't want from You the power and wealth of emperors, nor the enjoyments found in heaven, nor anything else obtainable in this world or the next. They desire nothing else but You.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 58 śrī-baladeva uvāca vadhvaḥ sahaja-tatratya- dainya-vārtā-kathā-parān asmān vañcayato bhrātur idaṁ kapaṭa-pāṭavam TRANSLATION Śrī Baladeva said: Dear ladies, all this is nothing but My brother's clever deception. We are intent upon speaking about the misery of the residents of Vraja — misery all too real — and He is simply cheating us.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Texts 36-38 mama pratyakṣam evedaṁ yadā kṛṣṇo vraje 'vrajat tato hi pūtanādibhyaḥ keśy-antebhyo muhur muhuḥ daityebhyo varuṇendrādi- devebhyo 'jagarāditaḥ tathā cirantana-svīya- śakaṭārjuna-bhaṅgataḥ ko vā nopadravas tatra jāto vraja-vināśakaḥ tatratyās tu janāḥ kiñcit te 'nusandadhate na tat TRANSLATION My own experience is this: When Kṛṣṇa lived in Vraja, so many calamities threatened to destroy it. Vraja was disturbed by demons, from Pūtanā to Keśī, by demigods like Varuṇa and Indra, by creatures like the python, and by the falling of familiar things at Kṛṣṇa's house like the cart and the arjuna trees. But to these dangers the residents paid no regard.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 33 athāgataṁ guru-gṛhāt tvat-prabhuṁ prati kiñcana saṅkṣepeṇaiva tad-vṛttaṁ duḥkhād akathayaṁ ku-dhīḥ TRANSLATION But I am not very intelligent. After your Lord returned from the house of His spiritual master, my sadness drove me to tell Him briefly how the Vraja-vāsīs were faring.

And who can let the mouth speak about the other women of Vraja, who after Kṛṣṇa left became like living corpses?
