Worshiping Govardhana Hill

There must be the sanction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Nanda Maharāja therefore advocated that, in order to get good results for agricultural activities, they must satisfy Indra, the superintending deity of the rain supply. Lord Krṣṇa nullified this argument, saying that the demigods give results only to persons who have executed their prescribed duties. The demigods cannot give any good results to the person who has not executed the prescribed duties; therefore demigods are dependent on the execution of duties and are not absolute in awarding good results to anyone.
“My dear father, there is no need to worship the demigod Indra,” Lord Krṣṇa said. “Everyone has to achieve the result of his own work. We can actually see that one becomes busy according to the natural tendency of his work; and according to that natural tendency, all living entities—either human beings or demigods—achieve their respective results. All living entities achieve higher or lower bodies and create enemies, friends or neutral parties only because of their different kinds of work. One should be careful to discharge duties according to his natural instinct and not divert attention to the worship of various demigods. The demigods will be satisfied by proper execution of all duties, so there is no need to worship them. Let us, rather, perform our prescribed duties very nicely. Actually one cannot be happy without executing his proper prescribed duty. One who does not, therefore, properly discharge his prescribed duties, is compared with an unchaste woman. The proper prescribed duty of the  brāhmaṇas  is the study of the  Vedas ; the proper duty of the royal order, the  kṣatriyas , is engagement in protecting the citizens; the proper duty of the  vaiśya  community is agriculture, trade and protection of the cows; and the proper duty of the  śūdras  is service to the higher classes, namely the  brāhmaṇas ,  kṣatriyas , and  vaiśyas . We belong to the  vaiśya  community, and our proper duty is to farm, or to trade with the agricultural produce, to protect cows, or take to banking.”
Krṣṇa identified Himself with the  vaiśya  community because Nanda Mahārāja was protecting many cows, and Krṣṇa was taking care of them. He enumerated four kinds of business engagements for the  vaiśya  community, namely agriculture, trade, protection of cows and banking. Although the  vaiśyas  can take to any of these occupations, the men of Vṛndāvana were engaged primarily in the protection of cows.
Krṣṇa further explained to His father: “This cosmic manifestation is going on under the influence of three modes of material nature—goodness, passion, and ignorance. These three modes are the causes of creation, maintenance, and destruction. The cloud is caused by the action of the
