Govardhana provides different streams of fresh water for Krishna and the cowherd boys to wash their hands and feet, to take their bath, provides different caves for cowherd boys to go in during the day, nice cool caves where they can get relief from the hot sun. The caves also provide relief from the cold when it’s cold out, and so many different minerals which are used to decorate the bodies of Krishna and the cowherd boys. Govardhana hill provides wonderful fresh grass for Krishna's cows. So in this way Govardhana hill is actually serving the Lord. Therefore he is Haridasa Varya.
