Radha Krishna Statue of Vrindavan ISKCON Temple

Krishna's youthful dalliances with the 'gopis' are interpreted as symbolic of the loving interplay between God and the human soul. Radha's utterly rapturous love for Krishna and their relationship is often interpreted as the quest for union with the divine. This kind of love is of the highest form of devotion in Vaishnavism, and is symbolically represented as the bond between the wife and husband or beloved and lover.

Five hundred years ago, that same supreme cause, Lord Sri Krsna, appeared as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and declared that the chanting of His holy names Hare Krsna, Hare Rama would spread beyond the shores of India to every town and village in the world. Hundreds of years passed, and Lord Caitanyas faithful followers were left wondering just how and when His bold prediction would come true.

ISKCON Temple Vrindavan Outside View

Vrindavan, the place where Lord Krishna indulged in his pastimes and where you will find a temple for Krishna in every nook and corner of this town, has over 5000 temples (I am told). In this labyrinth of temples the Iskcon temple stands out due to its sheer sense of "Bhakthi" or devotional service to Krishna. The beautiful temple made of exquisite marble sculpture and the most beautiful deities of Krishna, Radha and Gaura Nitai I have seen till date, reverberate with devotion. Incessant kirtan and bhajan, the flow of devotees (many of the from abroad and many of the ladies look like Gopis in Indian attire), the easily available Prasad and the fabulous Darshan (sight) of the Lord without any long queues make the ISKCON Krishna Balram temple the best in Vrindavan.

Lord Krishna and Govardhan Hill Story and Sculptures

Govardhan Puja is celebrated the day after Diwali. It is the day Lord Krishna defeated Indra, the deity of thunder and rain. As per the story, Krishna saw huge preparations for the annual offering to Indra and questions his father Nanda about it. He debated with the villagers about what their 'dharma' truly was. They were farmers, they should do their duty and concentrate on farming and protection of their cattle. He continued to say that all human beings should merely do their 'karma', to the best of their ability and not pray or conduct sacrifices for natural phenomenon. The villagers were convinced by Krishna, and did not proceed with the special puja (prayer). Indra was then angered, and flooded the village. Krishna then lifted Mt Govardhan and held it up as protection to his people and cattle from the rain. Indra finally accepted defeat and recognized Krishna as supreme. This aspect of Krishna's life is mostly glossed over - but it actually set up on the basis of the 'karma' philosophy later detailed in the Bhagavad Gita.

Govardhana (Sanskrit: गोवर्धन) is a hill located near the town of Vrindavana, in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, India. It considered as sacred especially in the Vaishnava traditions within Hinduism.
