dont trust the idiot. his info on the mantra's power is accurate but he's trying to sell it to u guys too hard. Krishna means black, the 'n' and 'r' have a very specific pronounciation (r as in 'urn', not 'run', and i don't think the 'n' has an english sound equivalent so u'll need to find out how to pronounce it by looking up the tongue placement).
the incarnated supreme godhead was darkskinned (being indian), was born in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India. the modern images of all our gods have been changed from darksinned to blue and they try to change the meanings too. this was done under british pressure who wanted to devalue our dark skin, make us feel shitty about ourselves (101 of culture domination of an invading force).
>Dark skin is highly esteemed among these people. ‘When a child is born they anoint him once a week with oil of sesame, and this makes him grow much darker’ (replaced since by ‘Fair & Lovely’ creams!). No wonder their gods are all black ‘and their devils white as snow.

now u can doubt hindu gods as being demons leading u astray frmo the one true god (untrue since hindus will be the first to tell u of them being manifestations from the one true god or bhagwan or ishwar) but dont forget india's history and suppression of ancient knowledge and culture.
