Namaste Rajinder,

The meaning of the Name Krishna, it means The All Attractive Person. What
does this mean ?

In the material world no person has all the opulances but only some of them
BUT Krishna has all 8 of them and these are :

Wealth he is the husband of Lashmi as you will see from the pasttimes of
Lord Vishnu.
Fame everyone knows God even those who do not believe in him know of him
but deny his existance.
Strength
Attractive he is the most handsome person and perfect in every way.
Most renounced
Most knowledgable he is after all the author of the Vedas !!!
Austerity
Charitiable

Krishna is the First person and there was no one before him He has always
been he is the first person read chapter 9 of the Gita, this discusses this
in detail.

Krishna has appeared as Rama meaning The most Compassionate One.
Vishnu The Creator and Maintainer of the material world.
Jagathnath means the Lord of the Universe another name for Lord Vishnu.
Gopal Krihna means the Cow Herd Boy.
etc.

The Vedic names are derived from God and have very deep meanings and in
Krishna's case they describe the activities of the Lord as can be seen. By
his name Krishna one knows if they know what the name means that He is God.
In the material world a mother may call the child Krishna through the love
of the Lord so she remembers the Lord and brings up the family to know him.
The Guru's maybe named Gobinda or Gopal BUT devotees never forget they are
Eternal Servants of Lord Krishna.

Your servant,

Sunil
