Srila Prabhupada gives the purport and meaning to the phrase ”HALLOWED BE THY NAME”, mentioned in the Bible…..
Prabhupāda: Jesus Christ simply said that “Hallowed be Thy name.” [Worthy of religious veneration] That means there is name. Now the question is why he did not say or utter the name? Now, there is already name. Why should he utter?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Right.
Prabhupāda: There is already name, Kṛṣṇa. So why should he utter?
Paramahaṁsa: Is that why Christ didn’t utter the name of Kṛṣṇa? Prabhupada: No, he said, “Hallowed be Thy name.” “Hallowed be Thy name.” So there is name already. That means he gave you chance to find out the name. And as he came to India, so you come to India and you’ll get the name.
Pusta Krsna: He was helping to lay the foundation for sankirtana movement.
Prabhupada: Yes. “Hallowed be Thy name.” Yes. This is a chance for others to think, “Hallowed be Thy name.” The name is glorified. “So where the name is glorified? Find out.” Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: He said, “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever.”
Prabhupāda: Very nice prayer. Very nice prayer.
