  • Godhead (Hinduism) / Godhead (Vaishnavism) - The conception of Godhead according to the Gaudiya Vaishnava school of Hindusim refers to the original spiritual abode or home of Krishna or Vishnu. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada often referred to Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and of returning back home, back to Godhead,



    to live eternally with Krishna. In the initial stages of Gaudiya Vaishnavism a practitioner desires to perfect himself in order to attain the qualification to enter into Krishna’s abode. However, a higher and more esoteric concept is to realize ones position as an eternal servitor of Godhead and to serve wherever one may be, without consideration of returning to Godhead. In other words, to surrender fully to the will and whim of God.”
  • Godhead (Mormonism) - The Godhead is composed of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a divine council of three distinct beings, according to the beliefs of various branches of the Latter Day Saint movement.
