Power of the Name
The Supreme Lord here reveals how Word Power is contained in the Name of the Supreme, and how chanting of the name can deliver liberation from this mundane world.
(Below is the revelation as extracted from Māḻikā (Mystic Oracle Books), given by Śrī Guru Lord Jagannātha in Oḍiā; translated into English for the benefit of Mankind)

English Translation
Name in Kaḻi expands
Name but as Brahma stands
Name in Name know resides
Name that Name see provides
Name when is kept in Name
Name when is rote in Name
Name, then in Name keeping,
Name’s glory Name does sing!
Name in Name mixes know,
Name salvation does show.
Name in Name will take you
In Nameless Name add you,
Mix you in union –
Being Supreme as one.
To you no more will I say
Leaving in Nīḻādri’s way,
Giving this great narrative
I, the Blue Mountain’s Lord, leave.

Disclaimer:
The Divine Revelations extracted and presented here in their original and uncorrupted form have made heavy incorporation of Chanda (Poetic Metre and Crypt), have multiple meanings and ingrain deep symbolism which make them very difficult to understand. While the same Sūkti (Divine Revelation) may also be understood and interpreted differently by different seekers and teachers of Spiritualism, all paths lead to the same goal towards realisation of Brahma (the Ultimate Truth).
The above Translation is a humble attempt by members of Hari Parivār to interpret and explain the original extraction in context of the Supreme Lord Jagannātha’s prescribed path of Bhāva (Ardour), Bhakti (Devotion) and Prema (Love).
