Philosophical meaning behind Krishna's name as "Madhusudhan" one who has killed the Madhu or Honey :

Madhu or Honey is an end result of endeavor of endless number of bees, all through days, nights and months, the end product is Madhu. It is not one individual. Thousands of bees coming out and going in same Beehive. Each bee visiting each flower and in each flower a wee-bit of honey in the bag they have. When the bag is full, the bee comes back and stores honey in the beehive and slowly the honeycomb is full. Hence honey is end result of continuous efforts.

From the honeycomb of your mind and intellect, millions of bees are constantly going out visiting every flower, the sense objects and in their contact they gain a wee-bit of honey which is "Karma phalla" I.e result of that amount of effort, giving birth to either negative or positive tendencies in you. All these tendencies are stored away in Tendencies you develop as a beehive. Constantly thousands of thoughts are moving out, thousands of it turn back after contact with outside world. This contact of the individual in the world outside is called "Karma". The Karma phalla in total is stored away beehive of tendencies.

Sometimes the beehive of tendencies turn into greater negative pattern or obscures the right vision of life. Then such a demon in your personality obstructs your path in moving ahead and brings all kind of obstacles.

Krishna is symbolically called MadhuSudhana who can kill this demon which means once you wake up to "that plane of consciousness", all demon like tendencies are destroyed. That is when you know that you are beyond a mere body & mind and REAL you is a part of a bigger SELF, then suddenly this demon is destroyed.
