| | Vaishnavism - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema |
| | Vaishnavism is the branch of Hinduism in which Vishnu or one of his avatars (i.e., incarnations) is worshipped as the supreme God and is a monotheistic faith. | | | As all other Hindu denominations, Vaishnavism acknowledges the existence of many lower Gods under the Supreme One. | | | These Gods are encompassed by Him, seen as either as manifestations of the Supreme Being or as powerful entities who are permeated by Him, as is all Creation. |

| | Gaudiya Vaishnavism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Gaudiya Vaishnavism, (Bengal) Vaishnavism, is a sect of Hinduism founded by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. | | | Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya sampradaya is the disciplic succession following this particular type of Vaishnavism (and Vaishnava Theology), which worships Krishna as God or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as ISKCON terms it. | | | But at the end of 19th and beginning of 20th century Gaudiya Vaishnavism underwent a renaissance due to the efforts of Bhaktivinode Thakur, who held a prominent position as a judge, and his son Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, an eminent scholar and preacher who founded 64 Gaudiya Matha monasteries in India and abroad. |

| | God and Science--Foreword |
| | Vaishnavism is a strongly monotheistic tradition devoted to the worship of the Supreme Being as Vishnu or Krishna. | | | The particular religion that I am following in this book is Gaudiya Vaishnavism, a subdivision of the Hindu faith of India. | | | In Vaishnavism, as in other religious traditions, there is a great deal of “mythological” material which seems to directly contradict modern thinking. |

| | Infact, Vaishnavism considers the entire universe and all the creatures living in it as reflections of divinity. | | | Modern Vaishnavism has originated and evolved from the devotion oriented Narayaniya religion which has been referred to as Pancharatna, Satvat or Bhagwat in the great epic Mahabharata. | | | The source of Vaishnavism is Lord Narayana himself. |

| | A Madras University diploma holder in Sanskrit (Siromani) and in Tamil (Vidwan), Srirama Desikachariar was a teacher by profession and, even while in service, had his tutelage in the spiritual realm under his father, Krishnamachariar, from whom he learnt the Vaishnavite scriptural texts in the traditional manner. | | | THE HOARY tradition of Vaishnavism boasts of innumerable scholars and savants who had distinguished themselves through dedicated service to the propagation of its tenets and through their benign role as authentic spiritual guides (acharyas) to the seekers of liberation through self-surrender (saranagati). | | | An acknowledged authority on Vaishnavism and a spiritual Guru (preceptor) for a large circle of disciples, Krishnamachariar had published several sacred works, including the Mahabharata. |

| | The doctrine of avatara (He who descends), especially important to Vaishnavism, teaches that whenever adharma gains ascendency in the world, God takes a human birth to reestablish "the way." There are either 10, 22 or 34 avataras of Vishnu, according to various scriptures. | | | Vaishnavism stresses the personal aspect of God over the impersonal, and bhakti (devotion) as the true path to salvation. | | | Bhakti yoga is practiced in many Hindu schools, and highly developed in Vaishnavism as a spiritual path in itself, leading to perfection and liberation. |

| | Though Vaishnavism entails the principal and the primeval teachings of the Vedic Scriptures, unfortunately the mainstream followers of the so-called Hinduism are adherent to the impersonal philosophy. | | | According to the prediction of the previous Acharyas and the scriptures, the whole world will be filled with the devotees of Lord Sri Hari and the whole world will come under the flag of Sanatana Dharma in the next 10,000 years. | | | The predicted Golden age in this Kali yuga which was inaugurated by Lord Chaitanya Himself was given a perfect shape by Srila Prabhupada, who fulfilled the prophesy of the Scriptures and Lord Chaitanya that the name of Lord Krishna would be spread in every town and village. |

| | One can ascribe the credit for the expansion of Vaishnav religion to all the disciples of various principal teachers and also to their lineage. | | | Subsequently in the lineage of disciples, a book named ‘Govindbhashaya’ was written and as a result this school of thought came into existence. | | | But the foreign invasions did not only politically weaken the country but also uprooted many of the Vedic and Non-Vedic religions or philosophies and replaced all these religions by one foreign religion. |

| | To take the first alternative, repression, would be a futile, unreasonable course, for it simply denies what is obvious: the self-sufficiency of a non-Christian religion to abide faithfully in the presence of a redeeming, self-revealing God of love. | | | It can help us to visualise the perfection of personal spiritual existence that is God& promised restitution to a creation that has been marred by sin and death. | | | Although I left ISKCON fourteen years ago, some of the central images and doctrines of Gaudiya Vaishnavism it propagates still remain as lively theological truths for me. It is these elements of Vaishnavism, above all other factors that have prevented me from remaining a traditionally orthodox Christian. |
