Paperback. This book presents an extensive interview between a reporter and a devotee, focusing on the historical and spiritual significance of the Govardhana Puja festival in the Vedic tradition. This festival commemorates the time when Shri Krishna, as a young child, convinced the residents of Vrindavana to worship Govardhana Hill instead of the powerful demigod Indra, who was traditionally worshiped for rain. Outraged by this slight, Indra retaliated by sending a devastating flood, which Krishna thwarted by lifting the entire hill with one finger to serve as a massive umbrella, thereby protecting the residents and cows. The discussion emphasizes that this pastime was meant to curb Indra's pride, affirm Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and illustrate the superiority of devotional service (bhakti-yoga) over all other kinds of worship, a lesson that continues through the annual celebration of Govardhana Puja. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

About the Author
Rooted in the Vaishnava tradition and inspired by the profound wisdom of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, immersed in the study and practice of Krishna consciousness, through a blend of scriptural insight, personal reflection, and heartfelt devotion, krishnasmercy.com seeks to illuminate the path of bhakti (devotion) for spiritual seekers and devotees alike. It is a digital sanctuary dedicated to sharing the timeless teachings and divine glories of Lord Krishna.
With a deep reverence for sacred texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, and Srimad Bhagavatam, drawing upon Krishna's life, incarnations, pastimes, and teachings to offer readers a window into the beauty and mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the writings reflect a commitment to making ancient wisdom accessible and relevant to modern life, encouraging readers to cultivate a personal connection with Krishna through chanting, contemplation, and surrender.
The creation of krishnasmercy.com stems from a desire to share the transformative power of Krishna's holy names and the joy of devotional service. This book hopes to continue that mission, offering a heartfelt exploration of Krishna's divine qualities, His eternal relationship with His devotees, and the path to spiritual fulfillment. The source is a space of humility and gratitude, viewing the output as an offering at the lotus feet of Lord Krishna, with the hope that it may inspire others to discover his boundless mercy.
