News India Live, Digital Desk: In Sanatan Dharma, Lord Shri Krishna’s ‘Goverdhan Leela’ is considered the biggest symbol of destruction of ego and protection of nature. We all know that to break the pride of Indra, Kanhaiya held Govardhan Mountain on his finger for seven days. But have you ever wondered why the Lord of the Universe chose the ‘pinky’ (smallest finger) of his left hand instead of the most powerful finger to lift the mountain? There is such a wonderful logic hidden behind this mythological story, which can become an inspiration for every human being in today’s era.
Why chose the smallest finger? final blow to ego
According to mythological beliefs, if Lord Krishna wanted, he could have blown the mountain into the air with a single gesture, but he took the help of his smallest finger. The main reason behind this ‘Ego quencher’ Was.
Indra’s pride: Devraj Indra was very proud of his power. Krishna lifted the mountain with his weakest finger and gave the message that one small finger of God is enough to defeat the one whom Indra is threatening with his full power (torrential rain).
Support of devotees: While lifting the mountain, Krishna asked the cowherd boys to put down their sticks. He wanted to show that when everyone tries together, God can avert even the biggest crisis even by being just a ‘support’.
The secret of the left hand: a symbol of love and tenderness
In the scriptures, the right hand is considered a symbol of efforts and the left hand is considered a symbol of love and compassion. Shri Krishna is the incarnation of ‘love’.
Affection towards the people of Braj: Kanhaiya used his left hand because he wanted to remove the fear of the Braj people by playing the flute with his right hand and giving them protection.
Not force, but emotion: Krishna proved that to lift the heaviest load, more ‘determination’ and ‘love’ are required than physical strength.
Psychological importance of little finger
According to modern philosophy, the smallest finger of the hand is considered the most neglected. Krishna chose this to teach the society that:
No one is small or weak in the world.
The one whom the society ignores by considering him as ‘the smallest’, with the help of God, he also has the ability to lift a huge mountain like ‘Govardhan’.
The owner of ‘Chhappan Bhog’ remained hungry for 7 days
According to the story, Krishna stood carrying the mountain for seven days and did not eat even a single grain of food. He used to eat 8 times a day, so when the mountain was put down, the people of Braj prepared food for him according to 7 days and 8 hours. 56 Bhog (7 x 8 = 56) Prepared. From here the tradition of offering 56 offerings to God started.
