Govardhan Puja / Annakut tradition (rooted in the Bhagavata Purana, Canto 10) · Unknown (devotional invocation of the Vaishnava tradition) · Puranic / classical
The lifting of Govardhana is one of the most celebrated episodes of Krishna's Vraja-lila, told in the tenth Canto of the Bhagavata Purana. To curb the pride of Indra and to establish devotion to the hill and the cows that nourished Vraja, the boy Krishna raised Mount Govardhana on a single finger and sheltered all the people and cattle beneath it through seven days of storm. In memory of this, the day after Diwali is kept as Govardhan Puja, and this invocation — 'Govardhana-Dharam Vande' — is sung while offering the Annakut to the Lord.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
The Bhagavata records that a seven-year-old Krishna held the entire mountain effortlessly upon the little finger of his left hand for seven days and nights, neither tiring nor letting a drop of rain touch his people, until the humbled Indra withdrew the storm and bowed to him. Devotees hold that those who worship Govardhana are likewise sheltered from every calamity of life.
