One of the greatest sages of the Puranic times, Garga was the son of Rishi Bharadwaja and Susheela. He was better known as Garga Muni. He was the family priest of the family of Nanda (the foster-father of Krishna). He named Krishna as "Krishna" after receiving the name by meditation. From the Vishnu Purana and other Puranas, one understands that although basically of Kshatriya origin, a branch of Gargas became Brahmins and migrated westwards and joined the Yavanas (Ionians). This could be the possible reason that later day Indians referred to Greek mathematicians and astronomers as Gargacharya -

The monthly publication of The Harmonist magazine began in June of 1927 in Kolkata, Bengal, India, under the direction of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Prabhupada. The foreword of the first English edition reads as follows: "The Sajjana-toshani made her first appearance in the year 1879 in the modest form of a Bengali spiritual monthly edited by Thakur Bhaktivinoda. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati started the English version of the same publication in June of 1927 continuing until June 1936, before his departure from this world on January 1, 1937." -
