Form of Lord Krishna Qualities of Lord Krishna

Digest 00132B: Do the names of the Supreme Lord identify His relationship with devotees?

Written by Romapada Swami

Question: I understand that the 2 hand form of Krishna is the highest. Which form in particular? Gopinath or Syamasundara? The names of the Lord represent the relationships he enacts with his devotees, does it not? Please clarify.

Answer by Romapada Swami: 

The 2-handed form of Krishna is the form in which He is known in Vrndavan. Either Gopinatha or Syamasundara (or many other names, for that matter) identify Krishna in His Vraja lila.

Yes, names of the Lord identify His specific relationships or His transcendental qualities.
