The word Krishna means in Sanskrit the dark. Krishna also means the enchanter of all His devotees (Aakarshana). Commentators have interpreted this significance in a more attractive context. They conclude that Krishna means one who sweeps away the sins in the heart of those who meditate upon Him. Krishna as a deity of the farmyard in the agricultural estates, the Lord ploughs the hard stupidities in us and prepares the heart-field, weeding out all the poisonous growths of sin, and cultivates therein-pure bliss which is of the nature of reality. Krishna is the other name of eternity, austerity and completeness and is considered as the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
