The name Swami Sri Devakinandan ji and his wife's Radharani has a deep meaning in Hindu philosophy which can be elaborted as:
Lord Krishna was a dynamic incarnation of Vishnu. He was an Avatar, in the sense that He was totally attuned to the Supreme consciousness from His very birth. He has several other popular names such as Madhava, Mukunda, Murari, Shyam and Gopala. His incarnation represents the descent of the Infinite Brahman to the material world. The lord is described as being blue in color and donning yellow clothes (peetambara) with a bamboo flute (vansi) that brings out enchanting music to mesmerize his devotees. His incarnation brought to bear upon the Indian thought and life such a profound and powerful influence that it has no parallel in India or elsewhere. There is no aspect of life, of culture and of civilization which did not receive His revitalizing touch- the Indian philosophy and religion, mysticism, poetry, painting, music and dance were all influenced by the Krishna theme and thoughts. Every aspect of Krishna and His deeds is pregnant with deep mystical symbolism indicating the highest Truth. The word KRISHNA indicates the Supreme Consciousness which is said to be dark (Shyam), in the sense that it is unseen by or unknown to one as long as one remains rooted in earthly experiences limited to the realms of perceptions, emotions and thoughts gained through the physical body and the intellect. Krishna was the major character of Mahabharata ( The Indian Epic) in which He preaches Karma Yoga to Arjuna through Bhagavad-Gita (The Sacred Book of Hindus).
