It was here that, five thousand years ago, Lord Krsna, would go every day with His cowherd boyfriends, herding the cows, and it was here that every day He would meet His beloved gopis, the cowherd girls, who are the most beloved of all His devotees.

The pastime of Krsna lifting Govardhana and holding it aloft on the tip of the little finger of His left hand for seven days is one of His most popular, and it is one of His own favorites. Usually different parts of Vrnadavana-dhama are reserved for particular types of pastimes with particular groups of devotees. Nandagrama is reserved mainly for His exchanges with His parents, mother Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja and their peers, whereas the forests are often for being with the cowherd boys or the cows. But during the govardhana-lila He interacted with all His devotees simultaneously for a whole week, fulfilling His own desire to be with them, and their desires to have His company

So Govardhana Hill fulfills all the desires of anyone who comes in contact with it. Let us walk around it and experience that for ourselves.
