ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu would also run very fast across the sand dunes, mistaking them for Govardhana. As He ran, He would wail and cry loudly.

Purport

Because of the winds of the sea, sometimes the sand would form dunes. Such sand dunes are called caá¹­aka parvata. Instead of seeing these sand dunes simply as hills of sand, the Lord would take them to be Govardhana Hill. Sometimes He would run toward these dunes at high speed, crying very loudly, expressing the state of mind exhibited by RÄdhÄrÄṇī. Thus Caitanya MahÄprabhu was absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa and His pastimes. His state of mind brought Him the atmosphere of Vá¹›ndÄvana and Govardhana Hill, and thus He enjoyed the transcendental bliss of separation and meeting.
