Krishna´s energies

Although Sri Krishna is non-different from His inconceivable transcendental potency (para-sakti), He has His own independent nature and desires. His para-sakti consists of three aspects: cit-sakti (spiritual potency), jiva-sakti (marginal potency), and maya-sakti (external potency) and He always inspires them to engage in their respective functions. That para-tattva (Supreme Absolute Truth), even while performing all these activities, still remains immutable and is eternally situated in the fully transcendental svarupa of His own glory. 

The material energy: 

Material nature consists of three modes goodness, passion, and ignorance and is the mother of the innumerable living beings within the universe. It is brought into existence and supported by the one unborn Lord, who is full in self-knowledge. That unborn Lord, however, does not consort with His material energy. He independently enjoys the pleasure of His transcendental pastimes. But the living entity desires to enjoy her and thus becomes bound.

– Svetasvatara Upanishad 4.5

The external energy, called maya-sakti, is the cause of innumerable universes with varied material potencies.

– CC Adi-lila 2.102

This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is dificult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.

– Bhagavad-gita  7 /14

The energy “inbetween” the material and the spiritual energy:

The jiva is a superior potency to maya

O Maha-baho, you should know that My external energy, which consists of eight divisions, is inferior. There is another potency of Mine known as the jivasvarupa, which is superior and which accepts this material world for the purpose of enjoying the fruits of karma. –     Bhagavad-gita  7.5

The marginal potency, which is between cit-sakti and maya-sakti, consists of innumerable living beings (jivas). These are the three principal energies, which have unlimited categories and subdivisions.

– CC Adi 2.103

The number of jivas is unlimited.They are divided into two classes. One class is favorable to the Lord from a time without beginning. The other class is averse to the Lord from a time without beginning. The first class is favorable to the Lord because of knowledge of relationship with the Lord. The second class is averse to the Lord because of lack of that knowledge.

– Paramatma Sandarbha 47

The spiritual energy:

Krishna has unlimited potencies. They are divided into three main parts, the spiritual energy, the material energy, and the marginal energy, which is the living entities. All potencies are part of either theinternal, or external, or marginalenergies. However, the internal energy is theLord\’s personal energy and is superior to the other two.

The three portions of the spiritual potency are called hladini (the energy of happiness), sandhini (the eternity or existential force) and samvit (the power of knowledge).

We accept knowledge of these as full knowledge of the Supreme Lord.

– CC Madhya-lila 6.159, Mad 8.155

Samvit-sakti:

Krishna´s energy of self-awareness; self-knowledge.

Sandhini-sakti:

Krishna´s energy of eternal existence.

Hladini-sakti:

The potency called hladini gives Krishna transcendental pleasure. Through this pleasure potency, Krishna personally tastes all kinds of spiritual pleasure. (Personified in Srimati Radhika)

– CC Mad 8.157
