Giridhari lifting Govardhan

GIRIDHARI: Lord Krishna, the one who holds the mountain. This is one of many names of Lord Krishna signifying Him as the one who lifted a mountain. The term Giridhar, Giri – hill and Dhar – one who holds or carries, means the one who lifted or carried a mountain or hill. The term reminds us of the divine play that Krishna unfolded as a young boy in the foothills of Govardhan.

Sri Krishna is considered as the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu and as His most glorious incarnation. He is considered to be the highest Purna Avatar, a full manifestation of the Supreme Lord, the Supersoul inside everyone and the embodiment of pure Divine Love.
