BalaGopal Krishna – Why this name?
What name would you give Him? After being enchanted by His loving glance, captivated by His charming, youthful moon-like face, His cowherd boy mood is very much present. In this mood, Krishna hides His supreme majesty.
Therefore, He is called BalaGopal – meaning, the young cowherd form of Krishna. At this age, Sri Krishna dances sports and plays surrounded by His friends, and has playful fun teasing the gopis.
“Kṛṣṇa’s friends the cowherd boys – they do not know that Kṛṣṇa is God. They play with Him on equal terms. When Kṛṣṇa is defeated in play, He has to take His friend on His shoulder and carry him.”
