The glories of Govardhan are endless and the importance of his worship was established by Krishna himself in the mo st amazing pastime. Girirāja Govardhana rested like a bee upon the lotus h and of Acyuta (Lord Shri Krishna) for seven days. He expertly serves Śrī H ari and Śrī Hari’s dear associates by providing them with fruits\, roots\, and caves. Devotees prepare varieties of foodstuffs with grain and ghee ( like rice\, dhal\, halva\, pakora\, puri\, etc.) and all kinds of milk pre parations (such as sweet rice\, rabri\, sweet balls\, sandesh\, rasagulla and laddu). The food is stacked like a small hill and offered to the Lord. Then it is distributed to everyone as prasadam. Hence\, this festival is also called Annakuta Festival.\n\n\n“Of all the devotees\, this Govardhan Hill is the best! O my friends\, this hill supplies Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma\, a s well as Their calves\, cows and cowherd friends\, with all kinds of nece ssities – water for drinking\, very soft grass\, caves\, fruits\, flowers and vegetables. In this way the hill offers respect to the Lord. Being tou ched by the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma\, Govardhan Hill appears very jubilant.” (Srimad-Bhagavatam\, 10.21.18)\nPious people keep awake the whole night and cook fifty-six (or 108) different types of food for the bh og (the offering of food) to Krishna. This ceremony is called annakut whic h means a mountain of food.

About Gita Jayanti – The Advent of Bhagavad Gita
\nGita Jayanti is the auspicious day of the advent of Srima
d Bhagavad-gita. This is the day on which Lord Krishna imparted the essenc
e of Vedic knowledge to Arjuna over 5000 years ago and enlightened him abo
ut the ultimate goal of life. On this day\, devotees gather to recite all
700 verses together remembering this sacred conversation between the Lord
and His dear devotee.
About Bhagavad Gita – The crown-jewe
l of india’s spiritual information
\nThe Bhagavad-Gita is a
sacred text across all Hindu traditions and is considered a summary of all
ancient Vedic philosophical texts. It was spoken by Lord Krishna Himself
to His best friend Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra\, 5\,000 years
ago. The Bhagavad-Gita\, literally means “The Lord’s Song” and is underst
ood as a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna but meant for the whole w
orld’s benefit. The message of Bhagavad Gita is applicable for everyone ir
respective their religion\, race\, background. It is infact “the manual fo
r life”.
\nAs stated in the Gita-mahatmya\, if one properly follows t
he instructions of Bhagavad-gita\, one can be freed from all miseries and
anxieties in this life\, and one’s next life will be spiritual.
Benefits of Reciting Bhagavad Gita
\n– If one reads Bh
agavad-gita regularly and attentively\, he/she can surpass the study of al
l Vedic literature. The study of all Vedas\, Puranas and Itihasas are comp
leted in all respects if one studies just this one book.
– As per Vedic scriptures\, just by chanting the Gita once\, one achieves the piety accrued from donating cows in charity to worthy recipients
\n– Reci ting verses of Bhagavad Gita brings both material opulence and spiritual b enefits
\n– Reciting verses and following the instructions of Bhagav ad Gita frees us from all miseries and anxieties in this life
