Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
In alignment with the divine path of Lord Sri Krishna and Sripad Madhvendra Puri, ISKCON Bhagavata Mahavidyalaya joyfully announces a grand Annkuta festival at the foothills of Govardhan on the auspicious occasion of Govardhan Puja, falling on November 14th, 2023. This festival is a dedicated offering to please Sri Giriraj and His beloved devotees.
Our plan is to present an opulent offering to Sri Giriraj, featuring several hundreds of meticulously prepared bhogas.
Situated in Aniyor Village, Govardhan, ISKCON Bhagavata Mahavidyalaya annakut festival is a very special. This village acquired its name during the annakuta festival when Nanda Maharaj, along with all the Vrajavasis, engaged in worshiping Govardhan Hill. The term 'anna' encompasses 'rice' and various grains. In this context, it specifically denotes rice-based vegetable dishes, along with other grain-based delicacies like puris, paratas, halava, laddus, jalebis, ksira, and an assortment of sweets and cakes. At this juncture, Krishna manifested His mystic powers, assuming a colossal form as the personified Govardhan Hill, known as Giriraj Maharaj—the 'King of all Mountains.' Seating Himself on the ground, Krishna delightedly consumed the multitude of offerings prepared by the Vrajavasis.
During this enchanting annakuta feast, Giriraj Maharaja relished the food to such an extent that He joyfully snapped His fingers, exclaiming, "Aniyor! Aniyor!"—meaning, "Bring more! Bring more!" The Vrajavasis were overjoyed that Giriraj Maharaj had personally manifested to accept their offerings. Undeterred, they continued cooking and presented an ever-increasing abundance of food until Giriraj Maharaj expressed complete satisfaction. Following Giriraj Maharaj's departure, Krishna led all the Vrajavasis and their cows on a parikrama around Govardhan Hill.
We extend a warm invitation for you to partake in this splendid opportunity to offer Annakuta to Sri Giriraj Govardhan and prasadam to the Vrajvasis.
