Sanskrit's a fascinating language. One word can often have several different meanings which can make translation tricky. Some of the sages took advantage of these double (or quintuple :-}) meanings to make their scriptures work on several levels simultaneously.
Just to make things even more interesting, many Hindus believe in one universal force which can manifest itself as several different Gods simultaneously. Govinda, Gopola, Nrsingdeva (along with all he protects us from) and Gaura Hari are all different aspects of the same thing.
Of course, Govinda is also within and without each of us. We just have to look......
My knowledge of Sanskrit and Hindism's pretty limited, but I think I've sussed out Govinda with the help of "stephen-knapp.com/standard_hare_krishna-songs" and "hindureligion.net"
