Govinda is a name for Krishna. Go means three things: the senses, the cow, and the land. Krishna gives pleasure to these three things. Wherever He is present, that place becomes blissful, ananda. ananda-mayo \u2019bhyasat. The Vedanta-sutra (1.1.12) says that the Absolute Truth is ananda-maya, always full of pleasure. Krishna is the reservoir of pleasure. So whenever He is present in whichever land, in whichever country, in whichever planet He is present that place becomes full of bliss, ananda. He is Govinda. He is playing just like a cowherd boy, just like a sixteen-year-old boy playing with cows. His father has many cows, and He takes the cows and goes on a pleasure trip with friends. That is Krishna\u2019s business. He is not going to any office or any factory. You see? He goes out, and His mother gives Him sufficient to eat. After eating breakfast, He goes outside for a pleasure trip with His friends and His flute and cows. That is Krishna\u2019s business. Therefore He is Govinda. The cows\u2026..oh!as soon as they see Krishna, they lick His face and body. Each cow has a different name. As soon as He calls, the cow will come and drop her milk. Those cows are spiritual. That is described in the Brahma-samhita (5.29): surabhir abhipalay antam. Krishna tends surabhi cows. Surabhi cows are inexhaustible. You can milk them as much as you want. In the material world the cow is limited. There is a time when you can milk, morning and evening, and you get a certain quantity, not more than that. But you can milk surabhi cows anytime you like, and you can draw as much milk as you like.<\/p>\n<p>Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s Lectures, Volume-47 Number-04 (https:\/\/bit.ly\/3yCFgVc)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img src= \"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/gQBd2FN.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" \/>Anadir adir govindah.
