Meaning:
Om Krishnaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *krish* (to attract, to draw) + *na* (bliss); or *krishna* (the dark one, the all-attractive); "The All-Attractive One" or "He of Dark Complexion Who Draws All Hearts" — this is His most celebrated name, the one who attracts all beings irresistibly toward Himself
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Dual etymology<br> The great Vaiṣṇava commentator Parāśara Bhaṭṭar gives two roots: (1) ‘kṛṣ’ = existence (‘bhū-vācakaḥ’) + ‘ṇa’ = bliss (‘ānanda-vācakaḥ’) — making Kṛṣṇa the embodiment of Existence-Bliss (‘Sat-Ānanda’); (2) ‘kṛṣ’ = to attract — the name of the one whose beauty, qualities, and love draw every being in creation toward Him as iron is drawn to a magnet. **Mythological richness<br> No name in the entire Sahasranāma carries a more expansive mythological universe. Kṛṣṇa is simultaneously the divine child of Vṛndāvana, the cosmic flute-player, the destroyer of Kaṃsa, the charioteer of Arjuna, the revealer of the Bhagavad Gītā, and the supreme Absolute in human form. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa — particularly its 10th Skandha — is the most elaborate celebration of this name in all of Sanskrit literature. **Vedantic identification<br> The Bhagavad Gītā (10.37): ‘"Vṛṣṇīnāṃ Vāsudevo'smi"‘ — "Among the Vṛṣṇis, I am Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa)." And the Gītā's final chapter (18.65): ‘"Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṃ namaskuru / mām evaiṣyasi satyaṃ te pratijāne priyo'si me"‘ — "Fix your mind on Me, be devoted to Me, worship Me, bow down to Me. So shall you come to Me. Truly do I promise you, for you are dear to Me." Kṛṣṇa is Viṣṇu's most complete, most intimate, most all-encompassing manifestation. **Philosophical depth<br> The Brahma Saṃhitā (5.1) opens: ‘"Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ Kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ / anādir ādir govindaḥ sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam"‘ — "Kṛṣṇa, who is known as Govinda, is the Supreme Controller. His form is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. He is the origin of all, He has no origin, and He is the prime cause of all causes." This verse makes Kṛṣṇa not merely one avatāra among many but the ‘ādi-puruṣa’ — the primordial Person from whom all avatāras emanate.
