This time nice opportunity for all of us to celebrate the govardana puja on Friday. I request all of your personally on behalf of KKD yatra, please invite the new comers, multiply the programs into 2 or more keeping surksha at the top.
Following are the guide lines:
Govardan puja is also called Annakoota mahotsav. For Govardana Puja,
1. Prepare Govardhan form in a wide spread plate with cooked rice, curries, vegetables & fruits.
2. Perform Sandhya Arathi and Narasimha Arathi.
3. Recite Sri-Govardhana-Pranama-Mantra and offer obeisances to Giriraj.
4. Perform small arathi to Govardan.
5. Recite Govardhana Ashtakam.
6. Offer Chappan Bhog with different preparations and fruits to Giriraj. (On this day the Lord is in the form of Annakoot. So please do not offer the Annakoot to the deities. Rather offer Bhoga to Annakoot, along with other deities)
7. While All devotees must circumambulat Giriraj & sing Vaishnava songs.
8. Honour Prasadam. (Annakoot to be served as prasadam along with other prasadams)
While the offering is going on glorify Giriraj by preparing notes from Krishna book (Chapter 24 & 25
Note: Please see to it that neophytes do not participate in the preparation of Annakoota. They can very well participate in the celebration with other sevas.
