Chandan Yatra Day 2 Govardhan
“Look! During the Dipavali festival Krishna’s mother worships Govardhana Hill, the splendid gopis happily sing, and Krishna, His graceful hand artistically decorated with turmeric, calls the cows with a voice like thunder and makes them jump and play.
With the cows in front, and Queen Yasoda and the gopis in the rear, the vrajajanas, headed by the Vraja King, circumambulate the hill. O friend, look! Krishna, the moon of Vraja also circumambulates, joking with His friends, and on various pretexts glancing at Sri Radha.”
