Naming of Kanha
One day, inspired by Vasudev, the clan priest Gargacharya came to Gokul. Nand Yashoda honored Vasudeva and inquired about the condition of Devaki. When asked the reason for coming, Gargacharya told that a child was born in a nearby village and he was going for the naming ceremony.Your house was on the way, so I came to meet you. Hearing this, Nand Yashoda requested, Baba, two boys were born in our house, please name them also. Priest Gargacharya said that this work should be done with great enthusiasm. Nand Baba started saying, “Lord, do the naming ceremony quietly in the cow shed.” Because our children are in danger from Kansa. Gargacharya agreed.
Rohini, with the intention of testing Gargacharya, said, do this, we will exchange our children, you will take my son and I will take your son, I will see how your clan priests know the truth. Mothers came to the test. The children changed and reached the cow shed. Seeing the child in Yashoda’s hand, Gargacharya said – He is the son of Rohini, hence his name will be Rohaneya.If he makes everyone happy with his qualities then one name will be Ram and if there is no one equal to him in strength then one name will be Bal but the most popular name will be Balram. It will not discriminate between anyone, it will attract everyone towards itself, then there will be a name called Sankarshan.For all religious, spiritual and serial posts of ‘Shriji Ki Charan Seva’, stay connected with our page ‘Shriji Ki Charan Seva’ and also invite all your God loving friends.
Now as soon as he saw the child in Rohini’s lap, Gargacharya got lost in Mohini Murtiya. Forgot all my thoughts, fell into love trance with open eyes.Gargacharya neither spoke nor moved, I don’t know how many moments passed like this. Seeing this, Baba Yashoda got scared and started asking Baba, what happened? Priest Gargacharya immediately said, Nand, your child is not an ordinary person. Saying this, as soon as he raised his finger, Kanha looked at him.Gargacharya was about to say that this is God in person. Then Kanha threatened Gargacharya in his eyes, “O Baba! Don’t reveal my secrets. Baba, I know what the world does to God here. They worship Him and lock them in the cupboard, and I have not come to be locked in the cupboard.” “I have come to eat butter and sweets, to soak myself in mother’s love. I have explained to you what will happen to me if you tell me the secret.”
Now Gargacharya said – This son of yours will have many names, as he continues to do his work, he will get new names, because this time he has got black color, hence one of his names will be Krishna. Earlier it has come in many colors. Mother said Baba, what kind of name have you given me?My tongue has become dizzy while saying this. Give me an easy name. Then Gargacharya said, Mother, you can call him Kanhaiya, Kanha, Kishan or Kisana. Hearing this, mother smiled and kept calling her Kanha all her life.
