If Krishna is fully present in His Name ?
Sri Krsna's name is Sri Krsna. Sri Krsna's name is Sri Krsna's personality. Sri Krsna's name is Sri Krsna' qualities, Sri Krsna's name is Sri Krsna's leela. Sri Krsna's name is Sri Krsna's Dham.
nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaś
caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ
pūrṇaḥ śuddho nitya-mukto
’bhinnatvān nāma-nāminoḥ
‘The holy name of Kṛṣṇa is transcendentally blissful. It bestows all spiritual benedictions, for it is Kṛṣṇa Himself, the reservoir of all pleasure. Kṛṣṇa’s name is complete, and it is the form of all transcendental mellows. It is not a material name under any condition, and it is no less powerful than Kṛṣṇa Himself. Since Kṛṣṇa’s name is not contaminated by the material qualities, there is no question of its being involved with māyā. Kṛṣṇa’s name is always liberated and spiritual; it is never conditioned by the laws of material nature. This is because the name of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa Himself are identical.’ CC Madhya 17.133
Sri Krsna is absolute with His names, forms, qualities, pastimes etc.
how can I develop the faith and love to experience that truth?
Just by attentively, diligently and respectfully hearing about Sri Krsna's transcendental words, qualities and pastimes from those who have complete faith in Krsna's words.
Please listen to lectures given by Srila Prabhupada and read books authored by Srila Prabhupada. If u do, u will feel the love that Srila Prabhupada has for Sri Krsna. That is a glimpse of Love of Godhead.
Hare Krsna
I’m eager to follow this path more diligently and experience the transformative power of Krishna’s Name. I will begin by diving deeper into Srila Prabhupada’s lectures and books as you’ve suggested. Thank you again for this valuable guidance!
Hari Hari!
