Govinda


 
  • Govinda (or Govind) is another name of Krishna, or God, and also appears as the 187th and 539th names in the Vishnu sahasranama.
  • Govinda Ahuja is a Bollywood actor and politician, popularly known as Govinda.
  • According to Adi Sankara' s commentary on the Vishnu sahasranama, Govinda has three meanings:
  • In another Hindu scripture Harivamsa, Indra praised Krishna as having attained to leadership of cows as He was a cowherd. So men shall praise Him as Govinda.
  • The sages call Krishna "Govinda" as He pervades all the worlds, giving them power.
  • The Shanti parva of the Mahabharata states that Vishnu restored the earth that had sunk into the netherword, or Patala, so all the Devas praised Him as Govinda.
  • Alternatively, it means He who is known by Vedic words alone. Adi Sankara wrote a poem called Bhaja Govindam expressing his inner devotion to Krishna.
