Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism

Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism is a spiritual tradition within Hinduism that emphasizes devotion to Lord Krishna as the supreme divine. Originating in India in the 16th century, it teaches that loving surrender and chanting Krishna’s name deepen one’s connection with the divine. Followers seek spiritual purity and liberation through practices like prayer, meditation, and community worship. Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism also emphasizes compassion, humility, and the importance of living a morally upright life. Its teachings aim to inspire a personal, loving relationship with Krishna and promote spiritual awakening for all beings.
