In Krindna, Krishna does not play the role of God, but that of a little shepherd like the others. Even though He sometimes demonstrates His divinity, devotees do not take heed. Do not dig our heads to understand Krishna, because you can not understand it. Just intensify our unmixed love for Him: such is the perfection of existence.

The Lord raises Govardhana Hill.

When Indra, the celestial being and king of the “heavens” of the Edenic planets, understood the order given by Krishna to the herdsmen of Vrindavana to interrupt the sacrifice which was destined for him, he entered a great anger, all directed against the residents of Vrindavana, with Nanda Maharaja in mind, although he knows them perfectly and personally protected by Krishna. Master of all clouds, Indra called on samvartaka, the cloud mobilized especially when the entire cosmic manifestation (at the origin of the deluge) must be destroyed. Let him go over Vrindavana! He floods the entire region with a flood of water! Animated by a demonic feeling, Indra acted as if he had been the supreme and all-powerful Person. When demonic beings gain power, they defy the Supreme Master, the Sovereign Lord. Indra, although he did not belong to the demonic beings, wanted, in the pride of his material position, to launch a challenge to the Supreme Master. He believed himself, at least for a moment, as powerful as Krishna.

“See the impudence of the inhabitants of Vrindavana, he exclaimed. Simple people from the forest! But fascinated by the presence of their friend Krishna, who is only an ordinary man, they have the audacity to brave the celestial beings”!

Krishna states that the worshipers of celestial beings are generally of reduced intelligence. And also that we must abandon all other forms of worship to focus simply on the consciousness of Krishna or consciousness of God. By provoking Indra's anger and later punishing him, Krishna makes clear to his devotee that those who are absorbed in Krishna Consciousness have no need to worship a celestial being, even at the risk of incur his anger. Krishna covers his devotees with all protection: they have to depend totally on his mercy.

Indra cursed the actions of the inhabitants of Vrindavana:

“For having thus despised the authority of celestial beings, the inhabitants of Vrindavana will suffer in the abyss of material existence. Because they neglected the sacrifices to celestial beings, they will not be able to cross the ocean of material suffering with its thousand pitfalls. The herdsmen of Vrindavana have rejected my authority on the advice of this beautiful talker, who is called Krishna. A child! For having placed their faith in him, they have unleashed a terrible anger in me.”

Indra ordered the samvartaka cloud to destroy the prosperity of Vrindavana.

“The men of Vrindavana,” he added, “derive too much from their material opulence, they have too much confidence in their tiny friend, Krishna, that puerile talker,
