It is on this day Nanda Maharaja performed a ceremony for the cows and Krishna (and His friends) in Vrindavan, as He reached the pauganda age. Also, on this day Nanda Maharaja sent his children Krishna and Balarama to herd the cows for the first time. It was a celebration meant only for men and boys. As Srimati Radharani and Her friends wanted to enjoy the fun, and because of Her resemblance to Subala-sakha, she put on his dhoti and garments and joined Krishna. The other gopis joined in too.
Devotees remember this sweet pastime on Gopashtami day. This is a very special day at Mayapur as it is a great fortunate to have darshan of the most merciful lotus feet of Srimati Radharani and Her sakhis.
Go-puja is also done on this day. Devotees visit the Gosala, bathe and clean the cows and the Gosala. The glories of the cow and her protection are discussed by senior devotees. All of them feed the cows and partake of a feast near the Gosala.
Become a Gosevak this Gopashtami and get the unlimited blessings from serving Sri Radha Madhava’s Dear Cows & Bull in Sri Mayapur Dham!
It is said that whoever feeds the cow with grass and water every day derives the benefit equivalent to performing Ashwamedha Yajna. There is nothing to doubt about this. —- Brhat Paraasara Smrti 5.26-27
