    Gaudiya Vaishnavas believe in a Spiritual World where God and Liberated souls reside, its called Vaikuntha.

    Thanks for this quote, Atmarama!!! Thanks for the explenation of Achintya Bheda Abheda too, Atmarama. I love reading the glorious philosophy that our Lord has givin us! Here is something that I read from this site: web.me.com/eternalbrothers/et..._Ramanuja.html " Non-dualism...

    The quote "Brahmano hi Pratishta aham" actually works out just fine for all of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, not just some ISKCON interpretation. First of all, I dont think this is a debate, but a healthy discussion. I am not trying to convince anyone to believe what I say, or what Gaudiya Vaishnavism...

    Are you a smarta? This is very much along the line of Smartism, with the whole every God is apart of one. That is my favorite thing about Caitanya. I want to have the same emotions He did, philosophy is secondary. When I hear about Him fainting, rolling on the ground, and doing other such...

    I know many Gaudiya Vaishnavas may not say it, but I do have deep respect for Adi Shankara. Its just that Advaita is just not for me, perhaps I am not advanced enough to understand it. Thanks! :)

    He actually said that in the conclusion of the Bhagavad Gita, which is chapter 18. Krishna just gave to Arjuna many ways of getting to God. Karma, Dhyana, Samkhya, and others. And then, in the end, he says for Arjuna to DROP IT ALL and simply surrender to Him. To me, what Krishna is saying here...

    I dont see any contradictions in the Gita, sure in some places Krishna says that you should meditate, serve others, etc. But in the end, Krishna says that one should just surrender to Him (18.66). When Krishna says "Surrender to Me" who else is He talking about? I agree with Atmaram here, when I...

    Thats what you believe, we dont. We believe in the words of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Oh, and just because you done use the letter "I" when you express something other then others egos, doesnt make you look egoless. I dont think an Egoless person would ever deride another persons path, whether...

    I agree and I do know that though ISKCON has its insincere followers, there are many who are pure. But the GBC has decided to change Prabhupadas books, the Ritviks are instead trying to get their own devotees, and many of the fundamental parts of ISKCON are not how Prabhupada wanted them to be...

    Chapter 12 verse 2 Krishna Replied: Those who worship me singlemindedly and those who have unshakable faith, are for me the most learned in yoga Chapter 12 verse 3 and 4 (3) But those who worship the deathless Brahman, the imperishable, unnameable, the invisible, the immutable...

    Hey!

    I really like Sri Caitanya's Acintya Bheda Abheda Philosophy. Advaita and Dvaita are too extreme of views and I feel that Chaitanya's philosophy brings them both together in a nice balance. I am currently thinking about converting to Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Bhagavatism is very old and sometimes not...
  12. Bhagavata

    Hey!

    Hi, I am a Bhagavata. A Bhagavata is a worshipper of Krishna. Bhagavatism is the first known organized form of worship of Krishna. It started around the 4th century B.C. It really doesnt have a philosophy like Dvaita, Advaita, or anything like that because it predates Adi Shankara, Madhva...
