When Krishna sees that the peacocks are dancing for His pleasure, He reciprocates by dancing with them. Krishna wanted to serve the peacocks by pleasing them. And as the peacocks and Krishna were dancing, seeing their ecstatic dance the flute in Krishna’s hands began to play on its own. In this way all the peacocks and other animals on Govardhan began to dance with Krishna on the sweet melodies of Krishna’s flute.
Krishna kept the peacock feather on top of His head indicating that He accepted their love. This represents that Krishna is always subordinate to the love of His devotees.

Radhanath Swami’s lectures are so detailed & so absorbing that it at once transports us to the spiritual abode vicariously. It feels as if we are witnessing the Lord’s pastimes unfold before our very eyes. Thank you Maharaj for all the wonderful yatras that you conduct every year which spiritually nourishes us all year round.
Yes I do agree.
HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj points out an interesting and little known feature of God, that He is subordinate to His devotees!
For Krishna every creature of this world is very important whether it be a peacock or some other creature.
Beautiful article. Thanks for sharing the secret behind Krishna putting the peacock feather on!!
The extent one surrenders to Krishna that extent Krishna rewards him. All glories to HH Radhanatha Swami Maharaja.
Krishna is so perfect that he can dance more graciously and enchantingly than an expert peacock.
The supreme reciprocation between the Lord and his devotees is pure selfless love on the topmost platform.
Only Krishna can fully reciprocate with the love that we are so eager to give – nobody else!
We are hankering for this perfect relationship, which can only be experienced when one dovetails that propensity to love towards the Supreme Lord.
This pastime depicts Krishna’s love toward His devotees so beautifully.
This represents that Krishna is always subordinate to the love of His devotees.
This reciprocation from the Lord is the uniqe revelation of Vedic scriptures and Radhanath Swami revels in describing it.

Thanks for sharing the article. I never knew that peacock feather symbolized that Krishna is sub-ordinate to love of his devotees.
I am fascinated by the descriptions of the various ways God reciprocates in different situations and with different personalities. This personal touch is what keeps devotional literature ever fresh. Thanks Radhanath Swami!

The sooner we learn to make Krishna the object of our love, the sooner we can have this perfect reciprocation of love in our lives.

I am so grateful to HHRNSM to reveal this to the whole world which we would not have known if he didnt by the mercy of Srila Prabhupad. All glories to Guru and All Glories to Srila Prabhupad
That’s the greatness of Krishna. Inestimable.
