Audio: Lifting Govardhana Hill - Part 1 | 2 | 3 | 4.a narration of Krishna's pastime of allowing His mother to bind Him with ropes. two widely celebrated Vaishnava festivals happening during the month of Karttika. it's like an annual bhakti-yoga "buy one, get one" event. why Krishna devotees consider this to be the holiest month of the year. I offer my obeisances to Your most beloved Srimati Radharani and to Your unlimited pastimes. To this rope I offer my humble obeisances. O Lord, the entire universe was created by Lord Brahma, who was born from Your abdomen, which was bound with a rope by Mother Yasoda. I have no desire for liberation into Your effulgence. You then freed the sons of Kuvera, Manigriva and Nalakuvara, who were cursed to stand as trees and You gave them the chance to become Your devotees. O Lord Damodara, in Your form as a baby Mother Yasoda bound You to a grinding stone with a rope for tying cows. Please shower the rain of mercy on me uplift me and protect me with Your nectarean vision. O unlimited Vishnu! O master! O Lord! Be pleased upon me! I am drowning in an ocean of sorrow and am almost like a dead man. What more can I describe than this? Millions of opulences are of no use to me, but may this vision constantly remain in my mind. O Lord, the cheeks of Your blackish lotus face, which is encircled by locks of curling hair, have become reddened like bimba fruits due to Mother Yasoda's kisses. I simply wish that Your childhood pastimes may ever be enacted in my heart. O Lord, I do not even want to know your feature of Paramatma. My only prayer is that Your childhood pastimes may constantly appear in my mind. O Lord, although You are able to give all kinds of benedictions, I do not pray to You for liberation, nor eternal life in Vaikuntha, nor any other boon. To the devotees who are attracted only to His majestic aspect of Narayana in Vaikuntha, the Lord herein reveals: “I am conquered and overwhelmed by pure loving devotion.” To the Supreme Lord, Damodara, my obeisances hundreds and hundreds of times. Those superexcellent pastimes of Lord Krishna's babyhood drowned the inhabitants of Gokula in pools of ecstasy. To this Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, I offer my humble obeisances. His eyes were fearful and His breathing quick, and as Mother Yasoda bound His belly with ropes, He shivered in fright and His pearl necklace shook. Upon seeing His mother's whipping stick, He cried and rubbed His eyes again and again with His two lotus hands. To the supreme controller, who possesses an eternal form of blissful knowledge, whose glistening earrings swing to and fro, who manifested Himself in Gokula, who stole the butter that the gopis kept hanging from the rafters of their storerooms and who then quickly jumped up and ran in retreat in fear of Mother Yasoda but was ultimately caught - to that Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, I offer my humble obeisances. Once the song begins to play, return to this page to follow the lyrics.
