| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| Prabhupāda: There is a book, perhaps you might have read, Aquarian Gospel. So in that book I have read there is a Greek word, Christo. Christo... sometimes we don't say Kṛṣṇa, we say Kṛṣṭa. Dr. Kapoor: Kṛṣṭa, yes, in Bengali particularly. Prabhupāda: Yes, so this Christo word means 'anointed'. Kṛṣṇa´s face is 'anointed'. And 'love' also. And this 'Christ' title was given to Jesus on account of his love for God. So, on the whole, the conclusion is Krishna or Christo means 'love of Godhead'. |
