Praying for Govardhana to protect us all

The destroyer of Mura is always eager to protect the cowherd community. He has no other interest. He maintained the honor of Govardhana Hill by lovingly holding Him aloft for seven days, playfully exhibiting with the hand that held the hill charming gestures of respectful worship. May that Govardhana, whose caves are smeared with kumkum left behind from the pastimes there of Gandharvika and Murabhit and whose exquisite boulders are covered with precious gems, protect us all. -Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami

When will I grasp this instruction

Chanting a fixed number of rounds of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra japa is the most urgent necessity and important engagement of a devotee each and every day. It should be completed before anything else. -Mahanidhi Swami
