Yogi - The Supreme Master

Yoginampati - Lord Of The Yogis The claim that "the word Krishna [...] means the all-attractive" current in ISKCON is due to Prabhupada's commentary on Bhagavata Purana (1.1.1) and (6.4.33) because according to Gaudiya philosophy the Lord is sometimes called guṇa-karma-nāma because He is named according to His transcendental activities. Thus, Krishna in this context means "all-attractive", because "His transcendental qualities make Him very attractive." Prabhupada bases this on his translation of the Chaitanya Charitamrita, where a mystical "etymology" of kṛṣṇa is given as ť

"kṛṣ expresses existence (bhū); ṇa expresses pleasure (nirvṛti)" The translation of bhū given by Prabhupada is "attractive existence".
