Gopala is one of Krsna's names. During Krsna's childhood in Vrindavana in North India, he grew up as a cow boy/cow herder. He took care of the cows, by taking a herd of cows for grazing to forests and green pastures. He protected them from wild beasts. Gopala is actually a joint name from two words: go + pala. The meaning of go = cow, and the meaning of pala = caretaker or a person who protects and is responsible for the safety of something or someone.
Ramanhari is again one of the names of Sri Krsna. Radha was the name of Krsna’s childhood friend and beloved. She is His consort. The word Ramanhari means "the one who steals the peace of the mind" that is, in this case, of Radha. Sri Krsna enchanted Radha, all of the gopis and gopalas, animals and villagers by His flute (anandini, bansuri, murali).
Nrsingadeva is an avatar (incarnation) of Krsna/Vishnu. This form of Krsna was half lion and half man (the upper part of his body (face, chest and stomach) was of a lion, and lower part of his body was of a man). He had the fore limbs (arms) of a lion, having big paws and very sharp, long nails. Nrsingdeva, itself, is a joint name of three words as follows: nr = male/man, sing = lion, deva = god.
Prabhupada refers to the spiritual master, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Praphupada ji, the founder of ISKCON. This is a common temple bhajan/song.
Govindam is one of the names given to Sri Krsna. It is a joint name from two words: gov = cows + indam = god. Govinda was the person who was the god of the cows or the person who took care of the cows, just like the One takes care of man. Cows are very sacred in Bharat (India). They are entitled respect and loyalty, because they are like mothers (read: Holy Cow by Steven J. Rosen).
Background Information: "Govinda" is a folk/devotional song and it is about Sri Krsna.
