NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 44 - KRISHNA NAAMAKARANAM
Vasudeva wanted to perform a naming ritual for the baby. So at his request, Garga Muni, an expert in Hora shastras visited Nandagopan's house. Nandagopan welcomed the sage and honoured him ceremoniously. Garga Muni told Nandagopan that he was Acharyar for Yadhu vamsham and planned to secretly conduct the naming ceremony.
Lord has more than a thousand names, amongst that which name to select? Garga Muni had this apprehension for some time, then secretly called the child Krishna. Krish meant existence and Na meant the connection between existence and absolute bliss form. Krishna also meant the one who removes the sin of all. He also gave a few other names including Vaasudevan, without actually revealing that the child Krishna is Sri Hari himself. He named the elder brother as Rama (Bala Rama).
Garga Muni told Nandagopan that whoever is devoted to his son Krishna will never suffer and whoever troubles your son will perish. He added that his son would kill many asuras and help his clan to achieve a good position and as the father, Nandagopan will be hearing always of his son's untainted fame.
Sage meant Vasudeva and told him that all his sufferings would come to an end only through this child. Without mentioning that his son is Lord Hari himself, he asked Vasudeva to keep faith on the child. After the sage's departure, Nandagopan and all gopas were very delighted and looked after Krishna endearingly. Bhattathiri prayed to the Lord, to remove his afflictions with his mercy.

Sage Garga said,'O Respected Nanda, since I am the priest of the Yadu clan, wished to perform these functions under cover, out of fear of rousing Kamsa's suspicion. Accordingly, the sage performed the naming ceremony of Thee and Thy elder brother.
