All of us are in the family of one God. It is not that there is one God in England, another in America, and still another in India. The Christians, Muslims, and Hindus are not worshiping different Gods. The names Allah, Brahma, Jehovah, Kṛṣṇa, and Yahweh refer to the same God, called by different names according to differences in language and culture.
If we love the same one God, why do we quarrel? We quarrel because we don’t know what real love is. If we have true love and affection for the one Supreme Lord, we will naturally love each other. There is a saying: God is love and love is God. And in Indian Vedic culture there is a saying: All should be happy.
In this universe there is only one God, and He is not Russian, English, German, or Spanish. He knows all languages without difficulty, but there is actually no need of knowing them. There is only one real language in the entire world, and that language is called love. Eyes can speak that language, ears and hands can speak and understand it, and a glowing face can tell everything. God is one, and He is the embodiment of Love. Kṛṣṇa is the original name of God, given in the ancient Vedas, and it means the all-attractive reservoir of pleasure. All other names, like Supersoul, Buddha, Allah and God, are included within Him.
