SRI KRISHNA LEELAMRUTHAM (THE NECTARINE STORIES OF THE DEEDS OF LORD KRISHNA)

26. LORD SRI KRISHNA RAISING THE GOVARDHANA HILL

When people were under the shelter of Lord Muraari, they were amazeballs due to His wonderful activity. He was only seven years old. He wanted to protect His devotees as they surrendered unto His lotus feet. He picked up the hill and raised the Govardhan hill by His little finger. The devastating rainfall continued for seven days. Lord Krishna was unchanged by any motility and held up the Govardhan hill for seven days consistently. The Gopas and Gopis were frozen with awe. They began to talk about the splendour deeds of Lord Muraari. One of the inhabitants of Vrindavan said, "People, just imagine how come it is possible for a seven year old kid to perform such a marvelous event! I couldn't believe my eyes. When He was an young infant, He killed the demoness Putana by suckling her whole breath and poison. She fell down like a big mountain and our beloved child was fearlessly playing with her. He was uninjured! When He was just three months old, He kicked the cart by His lotus feet and it shattered into pieces. The demon Sakatasura died instantly! When He was one year old, He killed the whirl wind demon. When mother Yashoda tied Him with a husking stand, He uprooted Yamala Arjuna trees and it fell down with a terrible crash while our child was unaffected! He and Balaram  killed the demons, Vatsasura, Bakasura, Dhenukasura, Pralambasura! He saved us from the dangerous forest fire. He danced upon the hoods of kaliya serpent fearlessly and made our river Yamuna poisonless! And now, our dearest child is holding the great Govardhan hill like holding a small lotus flower!".Other cowherd man said, "Our child is very attractive! I couldn't close my eyes due to His extraordinary beauty! How come it is possible!".

One of the cowherd men said, "Our child must be one of the Demigods. He is not a common boy. We are so blessed by Lord Narayana!". On hearing the words uttered by the cowherd man, Nanda Maharaja said, "My dearest people, if I say one thing, your doubts will be clarified. Acharya Garg once came to our house for naming ceremony, He told that this child is one of the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This child has appeared white, red, green and yellow in His past lives and now He appeared in black color(Krishna). His form, His fame, His impressive quality and His powers are equivalent to Lord Vishnu!". In this way, the inhabitants of Vrindavan constantly praising Lord Krishna's unbeatable power. It is stated by many Saints that if we go one step with great devotion, endless love, unshakable trust and everlasting truth towards the supreme personality of Godhead, He will come eight steps towards us with immense love and mercy. If a soul is indulging in the state of Krishna consciousness, he or she must follow the four things such as Bhakthi, love, truth and faith. Everyone can have the chance to see the Absolute Truth, "BHAGAVAN". Therefore, they must have the anxiety in each and every second to see Him. Have these four qualities and constantly think of His lotus feet.
