prema | प्रेम

Prema (Devanagari: प्रेम; ISO 15919: prēma) refers to divine love.

It is the essence of the Hladini Shakti (the divine power of bliss). Considered the greatest of all powers, it possesses unique attributes.

Like all divine powers, She (Prema) possesses a personified form. She is so enchanting that even Shri Krishna—the Self-Contented Supreme Lord (Atmarama)—becomes captivated by anyone who possesses this power.
