Krishna: Follow me to the base of Mount Govardhan and bring your family, children and
cattle.
(Everyone to follow Krishna)
Narrator: People had implicit faith in Krishna’s powers and so they obeyed instantly. No
one questioned his decision not to offer the prayers to Indra. They were not scared of
Krishna but they truly believed that Krishna only meant well whatever he did.
Krishna lifted the great Govardhan mountain and held it aloft by his little finger of his left
hand.
Krishna: Come on, every one, Come under the shelter of Govardhan.
(Everyone to stand around Krishna)
Narrator: All men, women, children and cattle came under the mountain.
Yashoda: Nanda Maharaj, do something... our little darling Krishna is too tired hold this big
mountain with his little finger.
Gopa 1: this Krishna is indeed wonderful, like an elephant plucking a lotus flower, this 7
year old lifted the Govardhana and held it up.
Nanda Maharaj: Did you forget what sage Garga said when he names Krishna?
Gargar: The boy has numourous names and forms. This boy will bring Good Fortune, to you
and your people. In beauty, fame and glory, your son is equal to Lord Vishnu. So don’t be
amazed at his extra-ordinary deeds.
Nanda: did you forget how he slayed great Asuras from the day he was born.
Poothana: I am Poothana, as per Kamsa orders I had poison in me and I came to feed milk
to Krishna when was an infant, Krishna not only poisonous milk, but he drank my life.
Sakatasura: I am Sakatasura, I came as a bullock cart wheel. When Krishna was a 3 month
old baby, mother yashodha kept him under the bullock cart and I tried kill him. Instead
Krishna kicked me with his little legs granted me liberation. Thanks to Krishna
Trinavarta: I am Trinavarta, the Tornado Demon. When Krishna was 1 year old I came as a
tornado and carried Krishna high up in the air. Krishna was very light weight when I carried
him, but suddenly he started becoming very heavy for me to carry. He gave me a punch and
I fell down dead. Thanks Krishna for the divine touch.

This achievement of Krishna amazed Indra and he felt sorry for his behaviour.
Narrator: Indra came down on his white elephant, Airawat along with Kamadhenu, the
celestial cow.
Krishna: My dear Indra, it was out of mercy that I stopped the sacrifice meant for you.
You were greatly intoxicated by your opulence as King of heaven, and I wanted you to
always remember Me.Execute My order and remain in your appointed position as King of
heaven. But be without false pride.
The white elephant Airawat poured the holy waters of heavenly Ganga on Krishna
Indra: Yes, he should. From today, Krishna, you will be known by the name ‘Govinda”.
Everyone, chant Govinda Govinda Govinda.....
