Govardhana Giri Dhara-Govinda!

[Guest guest]

Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste.

 

Today many Vaishnava devotees are celebrating 'Govardhana Puja',

worship of Mount Govardhana, remembering one of the blissful pastimes

of Vrindavana Cowherd Boy, Govinda, Lord Krishna.

Fury of Indra and Lifting of Mount Govardhan

 

While adoring the 'Govardhan Giridhaari' let us all enjoy the

beautiful Sanskrit verse of 'Sri Krishna Karnamritam' composed by

the 'Gopi-Bhava Rasik Saint', Sri Lilasuka Bilva Mangala Thakur from

South India.

 

godhUli dhUsarita komala kuntalAgraM

govardhanoddharaNa kelIkRta prayAsaM

gopI janasya kuca kuGkuma mudritAGgaM

govindaM induvadanaM zaraNaM bhajAmaH

 

(Sri Krishna Karnamritam 2.26)

 

"I delightfully take shelter in My Beloved,

Govinda, the transcendental Joy,

Who is the beautiful, cool, moon faced Lord,

Whose flowing soft, curly hair is sprinkled

with the foot dust of the blessed cows of Vraja,

Who seems to be very EXHAUSTED playing the

GAME of lifting Mount Govardhana, and

Whose transcendental body is stamped with

the Saffron covering the Divine Bosoms of

His Sweetheart Gopis!"

 

Another Rasik Saint from South India, Swami Sri Narayana Tirtha

had also glorified Lord Krishna in this melodious 'pada':

Of course we are all familiar with the Gopi-Saint Meerabai's haunting

melodies of Divine Love, whose concluding verses are always 'meera ke

prabhu giridhar, naagar!"

 

"tuma bina mere kaun khabar le, govardhana giri dhaari?"

- Mira Bhajan

 

O Lifter of Govardhan Mountain!

Who else is there for me other

than Yourself to listen to

my pitiable plight?

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!
