Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 The Word Krishna has three meanings : 'Karsh' is one root from which the name is derived. It means, "that which attracts"; Krishna attracts hearts to Himself, by His sportive pastimes, miraculous victories over the forces of evil, his charming conversation, His wisdom, His personal beauty. The word is also related to the root, 'Krish,' to cultivate, as a field, for growing crops. The word means, he who removes the weeds from the heart of man, and sows seeds of faith, courage and joy. It is related to the root, 'Krish,' meaning something above and beyond the three attributes and the three eras, and 'na,' means, Sath-Chith-Aanandha. The Leelas (divine plays) and Mahimas (miracle powers) of Krishna through which He attracts the love of mankind, cultivates the harvest of joy in the hearts of His devotees and makes them aware of His being existence-knowledge-bliss, as described in the Bhaagavatha. - From Swami's Discourse on 13th August 1971.
