Govardhana Shilas

Devotees take rocks from Govardhana Hill and worship them exactly as they worship the Deity of Krishna in the temple. This worship is as good as Deity worship. Lord Krishna has appeared as Govardhana-shila (a stone from the hill), so that His devotees may render service to Him. It is important that not just anyone takes a rock from Govardhana Hill. The right to worship a Govardhana-shila should be given only by the guru (spiritual master). So his permission should be taken before beginning worship.

Body of Govardhana



  1. Radha Kunda and Syama Kunda are the eyes. 
  2. Dan Ghati and Manasi Ganga are its long neck. 
  3. Mukharavinda is the mouth, 
  4. Kusuma Sarovara its face, and 
  5. Punchari is its back and tail feathers. 
  6. A peacock often curves its neck and puts his head under its stomach. Govardhana Hill is shaped in this pose of a peacock. 
 In Govinda-lilamrita, Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami says that Govardhana Hill is shaped like a peacock and that Radha Kunda and Syama Kunda are its eyes.
