Home Articles 'Krsna' And The Slavic 'Crna'

'Krs' is a root within the language of Sanskrit which has been described as that which 'acts ( kr ) in connection with ( s )' as in to 'plough' as in to 'drag' as in to 'pull'.

 

'Krs' meaning to 'pull' expands as 'Krsa' meaning 'ploughshare' it expands as 'Krsi' meaning 'agriculture' and it expands as 'Krsaka' meaning a 'farmer' a 'ploughman'.

 

'Krs' meaning to 'pull' expands as 'Krsna' meaning one who is 'all attractive' as he 'pulls' our minds and 'pulls' our senses as he possesses 'traction' he is 'all attractive'.

'Krsna' has its primal meaning as in that which is the 'all attractive' and as with all of the words within the language of Sanskrit it also possesses its secondary meanings.

 

'Krsna' is described within the ancient Vedas as having a complexion like a 'monsoon rain cloud' hence the secondary meaning of 'Krsna' is that which is 'black'.

 

'Krsna' and its etymology has nothing to do with the colour 'black' its a meaning which Krsna has himself given due to his complexion which is described as 'blackish'.


alt

 

'Krsna' goes back in time to the ancient 'Puranas' which are over 5000 years old and the influence of this name can be seen throughout the many languages of Europe.

 

'Krsna' can be seen within the Indo/european root for 'black' which is 'Krsnos' and this can also be seen within the Old Prussian word for 'black' which is 'Kirsna'.

 

'Krsna' a name whose meaning is 'black' can also be seen throughout the Slavic language where we see the name of 'Krsna' becomes 'Crna' whose meaning is 'black'.

 

alt

 

'Crna Gora' a name within Slavic meaning black ( crna ) mountain ( gora ) is simply the 'Krsna' meaning 'black' and also 'Giri' a word within Sanskrit meaning 'mountain'.

 

'Crna Bara' is the name of four villages within the lands of Serbia and a name which seems to express some body of water hence its name the black ( crna ) pool ( bara ).

 

'Crna Glava' is the name of a village within the lands of Serbia whose meaning is the black ( crna ) head ( glava ) and a name related to 'Krsna' whose meaning is 'black'.

 

alt

 

'Crna Reka' is a village seen within the lands of Serbia whose name means the black ( crna ) river ( reka ) a name which is related to 'Krsna' whose meaning is 'black'.

 

'Crna Trava' is a village seen within the lands of Serbia whose name means the black ( crna ) grass ( trava ) and a name which again reflects 'Krsna' meaning 'black'.

 

'Crni Vrh' 'Crnatovo' 'Crni Kao' 'Crni Lug' 'Crnajka' and many more villages can be found throughout Serbia which reflect 'Krsna' a word within Sanskrit meaning 'black'.


alt

 

'Crna' meaning 'black' is also seen within the mountains of Serbia where we see 'Crni Vrh' the name of three mountains in Serbia meaning the black ( crni ) peaks ( vrh ).

 

'Crnokosa' is a mountain in the lands of Serbia whose name means black ( crno ) haired ( kosa ) and the 'Kosa' is also 'Kesa' a word in Sanskrit whose meaning is 'hair'.

 

'Crna gora' meaning the black ( crna ) mountain ( gora ) was the original name for 'Montenegro' and the 'Gora' meaning 'mountain' is the Sanskrit 'Giri' meaning 'mountain'.

 

alt

 

'Krsna' can also be seen within the lands of Lithuania where we see the river 'Kirsna' whose meaning is the 'blackish river' and nearby is the village 'Astrioji Kirsna'.

 

'Krsna' is seen within Russia where we find the river 'Chernaya' meaning the 'black river' and within the Ukraine we see the river 'Chorna' meaning 'black river'.

 

"Wherever there is Krsna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion." Gita 18.78

The chanting Hare Krishna is our main business, that is real initiation. And as you are all following my instruction, in that matter, the initiator is already there. (Srila Prabhupada, Montreal 19 August, 1968)
