Parikrama around Govardhan. Парикрама вокруг Говардхана 24, 10, 2022
Govardhan is the famous hill that Krishna raised. Now the diameter of the hill is about 24 km. On this parikrama, our goal was just to get around it before noon, before it got too hot. To see blue cows up close, as they say, is a great luck, but we were lucky. A sadhu singing by the roadside, a rusty loudspeaker reciting a mantra, a girl dancing on a tightrope all this created a mystical atmosphere of some parallel world. At the end of the parikrama, I sat down on the steps of one of the kunds to rest. But then gradually people began to gather to this place, drums sounded, some kind of fuss began. I realized that some important person was expected to arrive. And that person turned out to be Jayapataka Swami. I have long wanted to get His darshan, and now Govardhan has fulfilled my wish.
