Govardhan hill
Govardhana ((サンスクリット:गोवर्धन)) is a 8km long hill located near the town of Vrindavana, in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is considered sacred especially in the Vaishnava traditions within Hinduism.
Known as Govardhan or Giriraj it is the sacred center of Braj and is identified as a natural form of Krishna.〔David L. Haberman, ''River of Love in an Age of Pollution: The Yamuna River of Northern India'', Page 264 ISBN 0-520-24789-2〕
==Etymology==
The name 'Govardhana' has two primary translations. In the literal meaning, 'Go' translates to 'cows', and 'vardhana' translates to 'nourishment'. Another meaning of 'Go' is 'the senses' and 'vardhana' can also mean 'to increase' - thus the name is also translated by devotees of Krishna as 'that which increases the senses' in their attraction to Krishna. In this connection, it is believed that the personality of Govardhan blesses the devotee by increasing his devotion (bhakti). Thus, by residing in the foothills of Govardhan Hill, all the senses and the respective duties of a soul attain divinity and are more inclined to perform service to Krishna.
