The Vedas also inform us that Govardhana Hill is understood in two different ways. First, as the greatest devotee of Lord Krishna, and second as being non-different from Lord Krishna Himself.

As the best servant, Govardhana Hill provides Krishna and Balarama and the inhabitants of Vrindavan with all the necessities of life. Cool fragrant drinking water from its many waterfalls, pure honey, mango juice and piIu juice, wonderful varieties of, herbs, roots, fruits, creepers and fresh flowers. Govardhana also provides various minerals and precious gems that the cowherd boys use to decorate Krishna and Balarama and themselves as well.

This sacred hill also provides deep caves where Krishna and Balarama rest and take shelter against the rain and the scorching sun. Krishna also enjoys many intimate loving pastimes with Srimanti Radharani in these caves.v
Govardhana Hill also provides a special kind of soft, fragrant grass that makes the cows strong and healthy. This grass also helps increase the cow's milk production, which is used to make pure ghee for the sacrificial fire and cooking. The milk is also turned into butter, yogurt, cheese and an amazing variety of milksweets.

Considering that milk is the economic backbone of the inhabitants of Vrindavan, it is no wonder that Lord Krishna advised the Vrajavasis to stop the sacrifice to Lord lndra and worship Govardhana Hill instead.

Govardhana Hill also provides Lord Krishna with a stage to perform His innumerable transcendental loving pastimes with the beautiful damsels of Vraja and with His cowherd boyfriends.

The Vedas also say that Govardhana Hill is non-different from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna Himself. When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu visited Vraja in the year 1515, He refused to climb Govardhana Hill because He saw that Govardhana was non-different from Lord Krishna. At the time of the annakuta ceremony, Krishna declared that He was nondifferent from Govardhana Hill Because Govardhana Hill is non-different from Krishna Himself, the rocks from Govardhana are worshipable just like a Deity of Krishna. In fact, the stones known as Govardhana-sila do not need to be installed as they are already considered to be worshipable Deities. Many great devotees have worshiped these silas from Govardhana Sanatana Gosvami Raghunatha dasa Gosvami and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself. Govardhana Hill should be envisioned to be in the shape of a peacock resting with its head tucked into its side. Its face is considered to be Kusuma-sarovara, its neck Manasi-ganga, its mouth Mukharavinda, its two eyes Radha-kunda and Syama-kunda, the beginning of its tail Balarama Sthali and the end Punchari-kuunda ( Naval-kunda).
