Govinda Namalu by TTD

While the Lord is praised through His many names, the name of Govinda has special merit, Since Lord Narayana supported the Manthara mountain on His back in Koorma avatara, He is Govinda. ‘Go’ also means Earth. Since as Varaha, He rescued Bhooma Devi from the clutches of the asura, He is Govinda. Since He measured the Earth in three steps, He is Govinda. ‘Go’ also means cow. Since as Krishna, He was a cowherd, Krishna may also be referred to as Govinda. He is Govinda because He gives us the power of speech.

Govinda is the name we must utter before we eat anything. The story of Kshatrabandhu shows the significance of the Govinda nama. Kshatrabandhu was a cruel man, who robbed those who passed through the forests. But when he learnt the name Govinda from a sage, he was saved.

When Draupadi is disrobed by Dushasana, she cries, “Govinda, Pundareekaksha, raksha maam saranaagatam.” Thus she is saved by uttering the name Govinda. It was the Lord’s name that saved her. Adi Sankara in his Bhaja Govindam, shows us the importance of worshipping Govinda.

we must always serve the Lord who resides in Tirumala, and we must do so without a break, and without expecting anything in return. Andal in Her Tiruppavai describes Him as “kurai ondrum illaada Govinda” — Govinda the blemishless One. She refers to Govinda in three verses of the Tiruppavai. Again in the Nachiar Tirumozhi, Andal dreams of union with Govinda.

The name Govinda brings to our mind Lord Srinivasa of Tirumala. Tirumala is mentioned in ancient works and also in Puranas like the Bhavishyothara Purana and Varaha Purana, attesting to the antiquity of the place.

Sementara Tuhan dipuji melalui banyak nama-Nya, nama Govinda memiliki manfaat khusus, Sejak Tuhan Narayana didukung gunung Mantara di belakang Nya di Koorma avatara, Dia adalah Govinda. ‘Pergi’ juga berarti bumi. Karena sebagai Varaha, Ia melepaskan Bhooma Devi dari cengkeraman asura, Dia adalah Govinda. Sejak Ia mengukur bumi dalam tiga langkah, Dia adalah Govinda. ‘Pergi’ juga berarti sapi. Karena sebagai Krishna, Dia adalah gembala sapi yang, Krishna juga dapat disebut sebagai Govinda. Dia Govinda karena Dia memberikan kita kemampuan berbicara.

Govinda adalah nama kita harus mengucapkan sebelum kita makan apa-apa. Kisah Kshatrabandhu menunjukkan pentingnya nāma Govinda. Kshatrabandhu adalah orang yang kejam, yang merampok orang-orang yang melewati hutan. Tapi ketika ia belajar nama Govinda dari seorang bijak, ia diselamatkan.

Ketika Dropadi adalah lepas jubah oleh Dursasana, dia menangis, “Govinda, Pundareekaksha, raksha maam saranaagatam.” Jadi dia diselamatkan oleh mengucapkan nama Govinda. Itu nama Tuhan yang menyelamatkannya. Adi Sankara dalam bukunya Bhaja Govindam, menunjukkan pentingnya menyembah Govinda.

kita harus selalu melayani Tuhan yang tinggal di Tirumala, dan kita harus melakukannya tanpa istirahat, dan tanpa mengharapkan imbalan apa pun. Andal di Tiruppavai Her menjelaskan-Nya sebagai “Kurai ondrum illaada Govinda” - Govinda yang blemishless One. Dia mengacu pada Govinda di tiga ayat dari Tiruppavai. Sekali lagi di Nachiar Tirumozhi, Andal mimpi persatuan dengan Govinda.

Nama Govinda membawa ke pikiran kita Tuhan Srinivasa dari Tirumala. Tirumala disebutkan dalam karya-karya kuno dan juga di Purana seperti Bhavishyothara Purana dan Varaha Purana, membuktikan jaman dahulu tempat.
