Apart from welcoming a new baby into the family choosing a name for your child is one of the most meaningful decisions for any parent. For many families selecting names for their child is not simply about how a name sounds but what it represents. The Bhagavad Gita also known as 'Song of God' is a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Lord Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra War.

Many new parents are influenced to name their child inspired by this holy book because it often reflects inner strength, clarity of thought and spiritual grounding qualities that many parents wish for their children. Drik Panchangstates, "Naming your child based on Swar Siddhanta can give positive results in the growth and development of the child. The most common practice to name a child is based on the quarter of the constellation (Nakshatra) occupied by the radical Moon i.e. the Moon position at the time of the birth."
