Govardhana, Bhakti Caitanya Swami

The Hill that Fulfills all Desires
[EU-Preis: € 52.50]

Govardhana, the Hill that Fulfills all Desires, is a virtual guide of the most holy place of pilgrimage for devotees of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna appeared on earth more than five thousand years ago and enacted intimate pastimes with His dear-most devotees who were hankering intensely for it. Govardhana Hill provided the most suitable atmosphere by which all the desires of the Lord were fulfilled in His intimate loving dealings with His devotees. Govardhana provided shelter to the devotees in Vrindavan when they were in distress for having being tormented by the incessant torrents of rains being sent by the king of demigods, Indra. In order to further proclaim the glories of Govardhana Hill, Lord Krishna Himself assumed the form of Govardhana in order to accept the offerings of His devotees in Vrindavan.

His Holiness Bhakti Caitanya Swami and his crew spent tireless days and nights photographing all the places on and around Govardhana Hill. All the temples, shrines, lakes, Deities and often the most difficult ones were caught on camera and presented in this book that took more than three years in the making. Bhakti Caitanya Maharaja then accompanied each photos with vivid descriptions of the places and pastimes performed by the Lord with His devotees, thus assuring us of being intimately absorbed as we flip through the pages. There are also large accompaniment of arts that were drawn especially for this book.

Govardhana, the Hill that Fulfills all Desires, is a big coffee-table book. It is 298 pages, with a very large double-sided map. The book is enclosed in a hard sleeve case.
