Sri Garga Muni, a revered sage who lived during Krsna’s earthly incarnation, served as the family priest of the Yadu Dynasty. He conducted the naming ceremony for Krsna and Balarama and was highly respected for his expertise in astrology. Srila Sanatana Goswami regards the Garga Samhita as one of the rare texts that reveals the "confidential science of pure devotional service."
Sri Garga Muni outlines the process of worshipping Giriraja, the remarkable festival of Sri Giriraja, Krsna’s lifting of Govardhana Hill, and the coronation bathing of Sri Krsna. He also narrates the debate among the gopas about Krsna’s true identity, the sacred sites of Sri Giriraja, the divine wealth of Sri Giriraja, his birth, and the glories and power associated with him.
The book contains complete Devanagari script, Roman transliteration, word-for-word meanings, translations by HG Kusakratha Prabhu, elaborate purports by HH Danavir Goswami, full indexes and a glossary.
