Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada

"Prabhupāda: If you take oṁkāra as Kṛṣṇa's sound representation then Kṛṣṇa is remembered. Doctor: But Kṛṣṇa is three letters. Oṁ is one. Prabhupāda: That doesn't matter. Doctor: In the last minute when you are dying you can feel it, easily feel it. Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa has many names. Kṛṣṇa has name Govinda. It is not three letters, it is more than that. Kṛṣṇa has so many thousands names. Advaitam acyutam anādim ananta (BS 5.33). So therefore Kṛṣṇa advises for the beginners, "Just try to remember Me in this way—raso 'ham apsu kaunteya (BG 7.8): I am the taste of the water." The water you must be drinking twice, thrice, four times. So when you drink water, the taste satisfies your thirst. So if you simply remember, "This taste is Kṛṣṇa," that is Kṛṣṇa conscious."
