SUMMARY: Lord Hari has a history of making the entire universe very sacred; he has the capacity to hear what devotees and then to gift lot of positive energy; he is known to be adorned with panegyric hymns for bestowing holiness; he is the destroyer of negative energy of sins; he is praised by knowledgeable; he is white like lily; he is infinite; earlier, he wore the form of Mohini, lured Shiva, the consort of Gowri, seduced him and then saved him too. Who is there in any of these three worlds to win over his mystic powers?

The word “PuNyashravaNakeertana” means Lord Hari transfers infinite positive energy (Punya) to those who listen to his stories, arrange or organize programs of narrating his stories.  

The divine mystical power of Lord Hari is unlimited and unparalleled. Sri Jagannathadasaru has cited the instance of Mohini incarnation of Lord Hari. The enthralling, ethereal charm and beauty of Mohini was such that Lord Shiva lost control over his senses and sensory organs. What can be said of the plight of human beings when the condition and conduct of Lord Rudra were shaken after seeing Mohini. He bestows infinite mystic power.

Lord Shiva felt ashamed as the semen ejaculated after seeing Mohini, that too when Goddess Parvati, whose charm is inexplicable, incomparable and transcendental, was present. Yet, Lord Hari made Lord Shiva forget that ‘momentary’ fragility. Sometimes it may appear that Lord Hari does not come to the rescue of his devotees who are suffering from various problems. It is only to test and then resolve or save his devotees.

All these traits of Lord Hari have been vividly described and substantiated in Vishnu Sahasranama, Vishnu Purana, Bhagavata and other holy texts.
