Om Mukundaya Namah।

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> "Mukunda" is one of Kṛṣṇa's most popular names, meaning liberator. **Interpretation<br> Mukti means liberation; da means giver. Mukunda is the giver of mukti - freedom from the cycle of birth and death. **Mythological Story<br> When the Yādava clan was destroying itself through fratricidal war (as per Gāndharī's curse), Kṛṣṇa sat peacefully under a tree. A hunter named Jarā, mistaking Kṛṣṇa's foot for a deer, shot an arrow. Realizing his error, Jarā was terrified: "I've killed God!" But Kṛṣṇa smiled: "Don't fear. You were Bali (Sugrīva's brother) in Rāma-avatāra; Rāma killed you while you fought Sugrīva. That karma is now complete. More importantly, you're blessed - whoever kills Me with devotion receives mukti. I am Mukunda - giver of liberation. Even through apparent violence done unknowingly, I grant freedom." Jarā attained instant liberation. The teaching: Mukunda grants mukti through various means - through love (Gopis), through enmity (demons like Kaṁsa and Śiśupāla who thought of Him constantly), through service (Hanumān), through knowledge (Arjuna), even through accidents (Jarā). The important thing is connection with Mukunda, regardless of emotion. Constant remembrance, positive or negative, leads to liberation by the giver of freedom.
