God has many names, and according to your conception, you can have God's name also. But out of all those names, many thousands and unlimited different types of names, Kṛṣṇa is the principal name because Kṛṣṇa means all-attractive. You cannot say that God is not all-attractive. And if you use that sense, all-attractive, this is the word, Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Śyāmasundaram . . . Śyāmasundaram means He is blackish, still, He is so beautiful that thousands of Cupids cannot be compared with Him. ''Kandarpa-koṭi-kamanīya-viśeṣa-śobhaṁ'' (Bs. 5.30). ''Kandarpa-koṭi''. Cupid is supposed to be the most beautiful, but about Kṛṣṇa it is stated that:

:''veṇuṁ kvaṇantam aravinda-dalāyatākṣaṁ''
:''barhāvataṁsam asitāmbuda-sundarāṅgam''
:''kandarpa-koṭi-kamanīya-viśeṣa-śobhaṁ''
:''govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''
:(Bs. 5.30)

''Veṇuṁ kvaṇantam'': He is playing on flute. ''Aravinda-dalāyatākṣaṁ'': His eyes are just like petals of the lotus flower. ''Barhāvataṁsam'': He has got a peacock feather on His head. ''Asitāmbuda'': and His color is just like black cloud. ''Sundarāṅgam'': but His beauty, total beauty, is ''kandarpa''-''koṭi''-''kamanīya''-''viśeṣa''-''śobhaṁ''. Still, the beauty . . . as soon as we say blackish, we think that he . . . if somebody is blackish, he is not beautiful.

Guest (1): That is also charm in that.

Prabhupāda: Yes. But still, He's still charming. Because it is all transcendental, we cannot compare the blackish cloud. It is simply given, an idea, that it is like blackish cloud. But immediately it is said, still, ''kandarpa''-''koṭi''-''kamanīya''-''viśeṣa''-''śobhaṁ govindam ādi''-''puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi'' (Bs. 5.30).

So God has many names, and according to your conception, you can have God's name also. But out of all those names, many thousands and unlimited different types of names, Kṛṣṇa is the principal name, because "Kṛṣṇa" means all-attractive. You cannot say that God is not all-attractive. And if you use that sense, all-attractive, this is the word, Kṛṣṇa.

Guest (1): What I was . . . you see, I was trying to . . .

Prabhupāda: Now, the difficulty is, don't try to invention something about God. That is not good.
