Govardhan Hill Katha
My sharing of the remarkable story of Sri Krishna Lifting Govardhan Hill. Part of this annual celebration is that a mountain of eatables are prepared and offered, and everyone partakes of a sumptuous feast. My offering is imperfect, but I pray that you may enjoy it since there are many valuable teachings found in this Krishna-Lila. https://www.facebook.com/newvrindaban108/videos/432615881717759
