Read with great enjoyment the article by Sumithra Varadarajan.
Eventhough Govinda has been translated as the protector of cow, I have
heard that the Govinda nAmA has a special meaning too viz. One who
protects the IndriyAs ('go')from swaying towards 'vishya sukham'. It is
also interesting that Adi Sankara (whom I consider as a great Vaishnava teacher
and whose teachings in this regard are not properly followed by His present-day
followers) also chose the Govinda nAmam to exhort the humanity to resort to
parama-purushan Sriyaphpati as the only goal of life.
Thanks.
