The story is told in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam of how eight-year-old Kṛṣṇa challenged the long-held tradition in His village to worship Indra to get rain for crops. He asked them, “What benefit is there in worshiping an angry god, because we are afraid of offending him? Instead, why not worship Govardhana Hill, because it supplies all of the needs of the cows and cowherd people of Vṛndāvana.” When the cow herders eventually agreed to this proposal and commenced worship of Govardhana Hill, Indra trie...

This is the anniversary day of the renowned wedding of Lord Kṛṣṇa to His beloved devotee, Śrīmati Tulasī Devī. There is a long history which leads up to this sacred nuptial agreement and it can be found in the Padma Purāṇa. In short, Tulasī becomes very upset with Kṛṣṇa for an insult to Her. She calls Him stone-hearted and curses Him to take the form of a stone, or śila. Laughing heartily, Kṛṣṇa accepts the curse, but issues a counter-curse. Tulasī, also known as Vṛndā Devī, must in turn take th...
