Lord Krishna lifted Mount Govardhan with his little finger and sheltered men and beasts from the rain caused by Indra and the episode goes like this --
Lord Krishna and Indra were not friends. Krishna is a GOD but Indra is only a Deva and not worshiped by anyone.
According to a legend, before Krishna was born, Indra, the god of Rain, was the chief deity of Vraj. Krishna and Indra were not friends. Then Krishna instigated the people to stop worshipping Indra. Indra wanted to show his power over Krishna and brought about a cloud-burst which flooded the countryside for many days. People were afraid that the downpor was a result of their neglect of Indra. But Krishna assured them that no harm would befall on them. He lifted Mount Govardhan with his little finger and sheltered men and beasts from the rain. This gave him the epithet Govardhandhari. After this, Indra accepted the supremacy of Krishna. The day after Deepawali is celebrated as Govadhan Puja when Mount Govardhan, near Mathura, is worshipped.
It is also marked as the beginning of the Hindu New Year and as a brand new beginning for all. Govardhan Puja is also performed on this day as Lord Krishna saved his Gokul from Indra’s anger by lifting up the Govardhan Mountain with one finger.-

That it's OK to fart in moderation. But don't fart excessively, as this will increase Global Warming.
