Krishna for Today: Govinda Pattabhisheka

Imagine a cow with wings grazing peacefully. This is a special cow named Kamadhenu, the wish-fulfilling cow of the heavens! Whatever you wish for, Kamadhenu can provide, like sweet milk, creamy yogurt, or even delicious butter – anything you can imagine!

Now, picture our dear Krishna, with his playful smile and gentle eyes, playing his flute among the cows in this field. He loves all the cows very much, but he has a very special connection with Kamadhenu. Well, Kamadhenu, besides being a magical provider, is also a big devotee of Krishna. He knows her pure heart and her devotion.

Kamadhenu, is a symbol of abundance and care, and her devotion shows us that even divine beings are great devotees of Krishna. And Krishna cherishes those who love him purely, like his dear devotee Kamadhenu.

The Gopis are ecstatic when Krishna fulfils their wish, giving them the required implements for the vow.

“O Govinda ! It’s a miracle how You win over your opponents with your grace. Furious Indra pours torrents of rain on Gokula, but you save the cowherds by lifting the Govardhana mountain like an umbrella. Realising his folly, Indra surrenders to You. (And Kamadhenu anoints you as ‘Govinda’) .

So also, you lose yourself easily to those who are devoted to You. What unlimited grace!! “Krishna, we’ve sung songs praising you. After completing a month-long vow, we’re blessed to earn a supreme gift. You!!

“we’ll wear new clothes, which have been worn and discarded by you. And you’ll adorn us with garlands and many ornaments— bracelets,shoulder ornaments , studs and golden flowers (for the ear), rings, anklets etc., “Then we’ll partake of rice with milk and covered with ghee, overflowing upto our elbows. And we will be overjoyed for eternity in Your company, serving You.”
