When is the best time to recite this?
Morning and evening worship are the standard occasions. Janmashtami, Radhashtami, Ekadashi days, and any occasion dedicated to Krishna worship are considered especially appropriate.
What is the historical and traditional background?
Krishna's worship within the Vaishnava tradition is documented extensively in the Bhagavata Purana, one of the eighteen major Puranas composed approximately between the 8th and 10th centuries CE. The practice of compiling 108 divine names for deities is a convention that developed within Puranic and Bhakti devotional traditions, used for structured worship and meditation. The specific compilation of these 108 Krishna names does not trace to a single canonical text; it developed within the collective practice of Vaishnava sampradayas including the Gaudiya and Vallabha traditions. The author is unknown.
