Gopinath
Govinda was so deeply grieved by the loss of his family that he stopped serving Gopinatha. Lord Krishna appeared to Govinda in a dream and asked him, "Govinda! Do you think it is proper that when a person loses one son he should starve his other son to death also?"
To this Govinda replied, "It was my hope that I had my son survived he would have performed the necessary rituals in remembrance of my deceased soul and those of my forefathers. Tell me, what do I gain by serving You?"
Lord Krishna explained, "I hereby promise to celebrate your death anniversary in a fitting manner forever. Now please can I have some food to eat?" Govinda was delighted to hear this and immediately returning to serving Gopinatha.
In course of time, when Govinda breathed his last, Gopinathaji held kusha grass in His fingers to perform the shradha ceremony, a practice continued even today.
