Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. A question came up in our debate with local Orthodox Christians. They strongly contest the statement made by Srila Prabhupada in the Science of Self-realization "Krsna, Kristos, Christ" that the name Christ and the name Krsna have the same etymological meaning. To them, it is an entirely false statement as the name Christ is derived from Greek "christos" meaning "the anointed one". Could anyone please elucidate on the supposed historical and linguistical connection between the two names and on the basis for Srila Prabhupada's statement? Begging to remain, your servant, Madana-mohana das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
