Actually love, the word love, has come from Kṛṣṇa. That is a fact.


Lecture on SB 1.2.10 -- Delhi, November 16, 1973:

So we are worshiping Kṛṣṇa. His simple business is, as we have described, Rādhā-Mādhava, He is lover of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Kṛṣṇa means lover. This very word Kṛṣṇa means "all-attractive." You can attract by your love, not by anything else. Therefore His name is Kṛṣṇa. I have read one book, Aquarian Gospel, among the Christians. In that book it is said that the word Christ has come from the word Christo. Christo, it is a Greek word, and the meaning of Christo is "lover," "anointed." So I think the word Christ is apabhraṁśa of Christo, and Christo . . . in India still, if one's name is Kṛṣṇa, we call him Kriṣṭa, or sometimes Keṣṭa. My younger brother, his name was Kṛṣṇa. So in family we were calling him "Keṣṭa." That is very current. So actually love, the word love, has come from Kṛṣṇa. That is a fact. Therefore you will see always Kṛṣṇa always with Rādhārāṇī. We worship Kṛṣṇa—Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa, Sītā-Rāma. This is Vaiṣṇava's worshipable Deity. We do not worship alone God. We Vaiṣṇava, we want to see Kṛṣṇa and His energy, potency. That is Vedic system.
