GOVARDHAN GIRI

Prepares Nanda Maharaj of Braj

Customary annual celebration of Braj

Pooja for Lord Indra on a large scale function

To Please Indra,  for good rains seek His sanction

For farmers to do their cultivation

prosperity resulting in their action

Krishna, Little Krishna against the function

Let everyone do their karma, action

Let farmers do farming to their best ability

Take care of their cattle properly

No need for sacrifice for natural phenomenon

"Villagers, to me you better listen"

Do pooja to Giri Govardhana

Let us see Prosperous Vrindavana.

Indra furious of Krishna act

Small kid ."I know how to react"

I shall send terrible rain

Flood land of Vrindavan , never seen

See people of Vrindavan in pain

Approach me to stop the rain."

Started the heavy down pour of rain

Thunder bolts ravaged the land, people in pain

Approached Krishna, help people of Vrindavan

Krishna never worried," fear you shun"

Krishna lifted Govadhana Hill

With his left hand little finger well

Balanced was Govardhana Hill

As an Umbrella providing shelter well

All inhabitants, with cows too took shelter

Pleased with Krishna, the saviour

For seven days non- stop rain

Krishna sheltered all without pain

no hunger, no thirst for all

All in company of Krishna small

Indra stunned and mystified of Krishna's act

Brought rain of devastation to halt

Sky became clear, bright Sun appears

Inhabitants back to their homes in cheers

Krishna telling them "never fear

I am always there to protect ever"

Nanda Maharaja,Yashoda and Balarama

Hailed Little Krishna for upholding dharma.
