Govinda

About Govinda

Known for his roles in such Bollywood films as Aankhen and Deewana Mastana, this popular Indian actor and many time Filmfare Award nominee also had a career as a politician, serving in his country's parliament as a member of the Indian National Congress Party.

Govinda and Gopāla are the names of Vishnu which means cow shepherd and cow keeper. These names are also commonly mentioned for Krishna, referring to his youthful activities as a herdsman boy. This name appears as the 187 and 539th name of Lord Vishnu to Vishnu Sahasranama. Vishnu or the full incarnation of Lord Krishna is considered the supreme deity in the Vaishnava tradition and also by much of the Hindu tradition. The Gopala Krishna of Krishnaism often contrasts with Vedism when Krishna instructed his devotees to suppress the worship of Vedic deities as Indra. Therefore, the character of Gopala Krishna is often seen as non-Vedic in one interpretation, while it can also be based on popular understanding or rather a misinterpretation of the Vedic Rig texts.
