Govardhan Puja and Nutan Varshabhinandan Blessings from Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh

Blessings on this divine day of Govardhan Puja during the auspicious time of Deepavali. HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji reminds us of Shri Krishna’s timeless message: ego and pride, like that of Indra Dev’s, can never triumph; instead, true victory lies with those who embody faith, humility, and surrender to the Divine. This day also marks the Gujarati New Year, symbolizing renewal and new beginnings. When Shri Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill, He was highlighting the significance of mountains, rivers, forests, and all creatures that sustain life. This festival calls us to honor Mother Nature and recognize that we are part of a larger ecosystem that must be preserved. Wishing you all an auspicious Govardhan Puja and Nutan Varshabhinandan!
