Dan
Ghati (Krishna Vedi)
Dan Ghati means “the place where taxes were collected.”
Dan means “tax.” Dan Ghati is a pass to cross to the other
side of Govardhana Hill. This place is on top of Govardhana Hill,
where the Mathura Road crosses Govardhana Hill. The shape of Govardhana
Hill is like a peacock. This place is said to be the narrow stretch
of the peacock’s neck.
The gopis would pass through here with their stock of
milk, butter, cheese and yogurt on their way to the other side of
Govardhana Hill. One time, the gopis were crossing Govardhana Hill
with their stock of milk products to bring them to a big yajna (sacrifice)
that was being conducted at Govinda Kunda. Krishna, along with the
cowherd boys such as Sridama, Madhumangala and Sudama came and blocked
the pass. Krishna and his friends told the gopis that they had to
pay a tax. The gopis, such as Lalita and Visakha challenged Krishna.
They said, who are you to charge us tax. Krishna told them that this
place belongs to me, because I am the King of Braja. The gopis tried
to get through without paying the tax, but eventually they were forced
to give a little of all the items they had. This pastime is explained
in detail in the book, Dana Keli Kaumudi.
The Dani Raya Temple is on top of Govardhana
Hill. At the present time there is no worship in this temple. It is
said that Vajranabha built a temple here because of the tax pastimes
that took place here. After you leave the town of Govardhana, after
a few minutes, you will see this temple on top of Govardhana Hill.
There is now a new temple called the Dana Ghati Giriraja Mandir, located
where the Mathura Road crosses Govardhana Hill.
Radharani’s footprint is located at Dana Ghati, imprinted onto
a Govardhana Hill rock. It said that Radharani’s footprint is
on the left side of the rock and that Krishna’s footprint is
on the right side. Pilgrims often stop here and walk around the rock
three times, before continuing circumambulating the Govardhana
How To Get Here This is the road in
the town of Govardhana that the Laksmi Narayana temple is on. This
road goes over Govardhana Hill. You are on this road when you make
the turnoff to leave the town of Govardhana.
