Abhay Charan De was born in Calcutta on 1 September 1896, one day after Janmashtami, the anniversary of Krishna's appearance. His parents, Gour Mohan De and Rajani De, gave him the name Abhay Charan, meaning "one who has taken fearless shelter at Krishna's feet." His family planned their year around the festivals of the Radha-Krishna temple across the street. So a son born so close to Janmashtami had a quiet, special meaning for them.
