Devotees come here to Govardhana by the millions every year, and they just walk around. You can see all night long, you can hear them all night long, groups of people walking around Govardhana. And I can say that in the years that I've been coming to Govardhana and staying here, which would be—this would be year 25, if we stay at Kārtika over here—25th stay here at Govardhana. I've seen people that do parikramā every day, all the way around. I know people that go around twice a day. It's their main occupation. I've met people who do 108 daṇḍavats in one place, and then they move to the next place and do another 108. I've seen whole families, including mom, dad, all the kids, doing daṇḍavat parikramā together all the way around Govardhana Hill instead of going to Disneyland to see the mouse.They come here to the holy place. And I've never, ever seen anybody unhappy, ever. In fact, there's a blissful look in people's faces as they walk around Girirāja or they do daṇḍavat parikramā. You'd think somebody would be complaining, like, "Mom, Dad, this is enough. I want to go somewhere else." But no, everyone feels satisfied, and it's a great miracle of Govardhana Hill that everyone who comes here feels satisfied.

And people come for many different reasons. They'll come because they want a husband or wife, or they want to pass the final exam, or whatever they want. Kṛṣṇa fulfills everyone's desire here, as it's already mentioned in the Śrī Īśopaniṣad. He's the primeval philosopher who's been fulfilling everyone's desire since time immemorial, but especially for those who want pure devotional service. There's a flavor here at Govardhana that one can imbibe, or a beverage that one can imbibe, that is an elixir from walking around Govardhana, praying to Govardhana Hill, and remembering the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa around here. One can feel satisfied and invigorated.
