Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 From Krishna.com's founder page. The "A.C." stands for "Abhay Charanaravinda," the name given to him at initiation by his spiritual master. It means "one who is fearless at the lotus feet of Krishna." The title "Bhaktivedanta" was awarded to him later to denote his devotion ("bhakti") and his deep understanding of the conclusion of spiritual knowledge ("vedanta"). He received the title "Swami" (which means "controller of the senses") in 1959 when he accepted the traditional renounced order of sannyasa. Finally, the title "Prabhupada" is a term of high honor that means "one who serves at the feet of God." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
