Once in Goloka Vrindavan, Lord Sri Krishna informed Srimati Radharani that She should prepare for Their descent to this our material universe to appear on the Earth planet (Jambu dwip) to enact Their transcendental pastimes. Srimati Radharani replied that unless Vraja Dhama, the Yamuna and Govardhan Hill were present there, She would like not come. Krishna assured His Beloved that Vraja Dhama, the Yamuna and Giriraj Govardhan had already made Their appearance on the Earth planet, and were awaiting Srimati's and Krishna's coming. In ancient times, thousands of years before this conversation between Radha and Krishna, the Vedas say that mountains were living entities who would move, grow and fly and land anywhere they liked. Once in the land of Salmali Dvipa, Dronachal's (the personified mountain) wife gave birth to a son named Govardhan. At the time of Govardhan's birth all the demigods appeared in the sky and showered flowers upon him. The great mountains, led by the Himalayas and Sumeru came, offering their respects and prayers, praising Govardhan for having descended from Goloka Vrindavana. They accepted Govardhan as their King, described Him as the "crown jewel of Vraja," and performed parikrama of Govardhan. At the beginning of Satya Yuga, the great sage Pulastya Muni came to Salmali dvipa. Seeing the beautiful Govardhan covered with many lovely creepers, flowers, rivers, caves and chirping birds, Pulastya Muni felt that Govardhan was capable of granting liberation. He then went to meet Dronachal, who immediately offered his respects and inquired from the sage what service he could render. Pulastya Muni informed Dronachal that he was on pilgrimage to all the holy places, and that he resided in Kashi. He explained that although Kashi was so auspicious due to the presence of the Ganga flowing through the city, there were no hills possessed of such beauty as Govardhan. He asked Dronachal if he would give his son Govardhan to him so that he could bring Govardhan to Kashi, so that he could perform his tapasya in the pristine environment of the hill. #goverdhan #vrindavan #krishna #barsana #bankebihari #mathura #radhekrishna #gokul #radharaman #radhavallabh #radheradhe #radharani #radha #lordkrishna #nandgaon #giriraj #mathuravrindavan #madanmohan #radhakrishna #brij #radheshyam #harekrishna #radhakund #radharamana #gopalbhattagoswami #kanha #vrindavandham #murlidhar #love #krishna #harekrishna #radhakrishna #lordkrishna #radhekrishna #jaishreekrishna #trishakrishnan #krishnaconsciousness #krishnamurti #jaishrikrishna #krishnalove #krishnajanmashtami #shreekrishna #shrikrishna #radhakrishnalove #ramyakrishnan #balakrishna #jayshreekrishna #radhakrishnan #srikrishna #krishnadasi #krishnakrishna #krishnamukherjee #krishnadas #jiddukrishnamurti #krishnachalilondon #krishnagiri #krishnaleela #krishnabalaram
