The Holy Names of the Lord, Part 1, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
The books of Srila Prabhupada inform us that God or Krishna has unlimited activities, and for each activity, it has a name. They also inform us that He has some so-called secondary names and other main or personal calls. For example: Visnu means the maintainer; Acyuta, the one who never falls; Paramatma, the supervisor and sanctioner; Allah, the greatest; Jehovah, the creator, etc. These names belong to the category of secondary names, related to their different energies. And then the main or personal names are those related to the relationship with their beloved devotees: Yasomatinandana, the son of mother Yasoda; Nandana, the son of Nanda; Gopijanavallava, the lover of the gopi; Giridhari, the one who raised the hill Govardhana; Govinda, who gives pleasure to the cows, the spiritual senses and the earth; Gopal, who cares for cows, etc. For us to understand these relationships we can set the example of a supreme court judge, when he is playing the role of judge, everyone respects him, gives him honors, etc., that same judge, when playing the role of father, His wife calls him Juansito, his little son plays with him to the horse, etc. All of us have an eternal relationship with God, but we have forgotten, because forgetfulness is part of our nature. Sometimes we say, I have forgotten this, or that. For those who want to know and remember God, He gives us very mercifully all means, and what means are these? He sends us the spiritual teachers, sends us the holy people and gives us the sacred scriptures. And as we have said before, for this age He also gives Himself in the form of His holy name. The holy name of the Lord is absolute, what does absolute mean? That is outside the material laws, there is no duality. For example, a law of nature, is satiety, what does this mean? That things get tired. For example, you see a movie, and the first time you like it, the second time you like less, and when the time many times, even dislike you. What does duality mean? Two things, the name and what the name represents. There is the handle and the word that describes it; Happiness, affliction; Fear, courage; Cold, heat, etc. In the holy name of God there is no duality or weariness; The holy name and God himself is the same. That's why there are people who can be singing it twenty hours a day and feel as fresh as a lettuce. The holy personal names of God have more power than the secondary ones. There is a whole theology behind all this.
