KRISHNA AND BALARAMA’S NAME GIVING CEREMONY

In secret, Garga Muni arrived in Vrindavana and quietly visited the palace of Nanda Maharaja. 

Nanda Maharaja asked Garga Muni to perform Krishna and Balarama’s name-giving ceremony. Garga Muni agreed to perform the ceremony but wanted to keep it a secret from the wicked King Kamsa.

So, in a simple but beautiful ceremony in a secluded cowshed, Garga Muni predicted the futures of Krishna and Balarama and gave them three primary names each.
