Mystic Potency is very interesting. Everyone wants to have them so that they enjoy sense gratification.

This potency is the last snare of Maya to bind us to this material existence. The great Vaisnava

acaryas dexterously guide us out of this bliding glare to take us to Lord Sri Krsna.

Generally Mystic potency is exhibited by Mantras, Gems and Medicines. we can easily see they

work mysteriously to deliver us out of a particular material problem. we hear also experts recommending them.

Ultimate Master of mysticism is Lord Krsna, as He is the controller of all types of energies. How He controls

them to function in a particular way is non comprehend-able.In the Spiritual world,

a given Name and name Holder are non-different. Acaryas show how the name of the

Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krsna is omniscient and omnipotent.

The Name KRSNA descended from spiritual world for the deliverance of those who lovingly chants His names.

The Mystic potency embedded in the name is sometimes compared to the Mantras, Gems and Medicines for

our understanding.

The great Acarya of Sri Vaisnavism, Srila Kulasekhar Alwar fondly prods us to take to Sri Krsna's Names in these

following wonderful verses in his book titled MUKUNDAMALA STOTRA, explaining how various way The Lord's

deliver us from the cycle of Births and Deaths.
