While I appreciate what you are saying, I think you are missing one of Prabhupada's key teachings in that the Hare Krishna movement also teaches that there is just one god. The essence of the main scripture is that krishna is god and all others come from him. Also, yes it is good to know what you are chanting about, but the point being made is that god's name is so powerful that even without know what you are chanting about you are receiving benefit.
