Shri Bahulashva asked Shri Narada: “Govardhan Hill is dear to Lord Hari. It is the king of the mountains. No holy place in the earthly or heavenly planets is equal to it. When was Govardhan Hill born from Lord Krishna’s chest? O wise and intelligent one, please tell me that. You know what is in Lord Krishna’s heart.”
Shri Narada said: “O noble-hearted king, please hear the story of Goloka’s birth, a story that brings to human beings the four goals of life, a story filled with transcendental pastimes.”

“Shri Krishna is the Supreme Lord. He is a person. He has no beginning. He is perfect and complete. He is the master of all opulence. He is beyond the modes of nature. He is above the realm of matter. Time has no existence in the transcendental abode where the self-effulgent Supreme Personality of Godhead enjoys pastimes eternally.”

O king, illusion has no power in that realm. Neither do the mahat-tattva, nor the material modes of nature have any power there. How can they? O king, the material heart, mind, intelligence, and false-ego cannot enter there.

After thus manifesting His own abode, Lord Krishna, the perfect and complete Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the master of countless universes, shone with great glory in Shri Radha’s company there. One day, in the beautiful rasa-dance circle, which was filled with the tinkling of anklets and with courtyards splendid with pearls and parasols, awnings of flowering Malati vines fragrant with nectar honey, sounds of flute and mridangam, and beautiful singing from beautiful throats, and which was beautiful with many beautiful girls,

Radha cast a sidelong glance at Lord Krishna, who is more charming than many millions of Kamadevas, and who generously gives the sweetest nectar.
https://freeglobaluniversity.blogspot.com/search/label/Kama
She spoke to Him in the following words. Shri Radha said: “O Lord of the worlds, if You are pleased with My love in this rasa-dance, then there is a desire in My heart I would like to place before You.”
https://freeglobaluniversity.blogspot.com/search/label/Desire
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: “O girl with the beautiful thighs, You may ask for whatever Your heart desires. O beloved, if I have not already given it, I will lovingly give whatever You wish.”
Shri Radha said: “In splendid Vrindavana forest, in a beautiful and secluded place by the Yamuna’s shore, please make an arena for a nectar rasa-dance. O Lord of lords, this is My desire.”
Shri Narada said: Saying, “So be it”, the Lord meditated. With His lotus eyes, he looked inside His heart.

As the gopis watched, Krishna’s love, in a form of fire and water, came from His heart as a sprout comes up from the ground.
https://freeglobaluniversity.blogspot.com/search/label/Element
Falling onto the ground of the rasa-dance circle, that love grew into a great mountain filled with many caves and swiftly-moving streams, beautiful with Kadamba, Bakula, and Ashoka trees and a great network of flowering vines, opulent with Mandara and Kunda flowers, and filled with graceful birds. In a single moment that mountain became eight hundred thousand miles wide and eight billion miles long. It was like another Ananta Shesha. It was like a great palace with many golden domes. Some called this mountain Govardhan and others called it Shatashringa (a hundred peaks). The mountain expanded as much as its heart wished. As the mountain expanded, Goloka became filled with fear and there was a great uproar. Lord Krishna at once stood up and slapped the mountain with His hand
He said, “Why do You expand so much? You have covered the entire realm! Why do you not stop at once?” In this way, Krishna stopped the mountain from growing any further. Gazing at this best of mountains, Lord Krishna’s beloved Radha was very pleased. O king, She enjoyed pastimes with Krishna in a secluded place on that mountain. In this way, Govardhan Hill, which is the best of mountains, which is dear to the Lord, which is dark as a monsoon cloud, and which contains within itself all holy places, was manifested by Lord Krishna.

As the Original Supreme Personality of Godhead, Shri Krishna, who is the king of Goloka and the master of countless universes was about to depart in order to remove the earth’s burden, He said to Shri Radha: “O beloved, O frightened one, You should also go to the earth.”
Shri Radha said: “My heart cannot be happy in a place where there is no Vrindavana forest, no Yamuna River, and no Govardhana Hill.”
Then Lord Hari sent a 47 krosha portion of His own abode, along with Govardhana and the Yamuna, to the earth.
