Neo-Vaishnavism

Neo-Vaishnavism is a modern spiritual movement that emphasizes devotion to Lord Vishnu and his avatars, especially Krishna and Rama, as the supreme divine. Originating in India in the 19th and 20th centuries, it revitalizes traditional Vaishnavite beliefs, promoting bhakti (devotional love) through congregational singing, prayer, and ethical living. This movement often emphasizes personal devotion over ritual complexity and seeks to make spiritual practice accessible and relevant. Neo-Vaishnavism has inspired various communities worldwide, fostering a sense of divine love and unity among followers while respecting ancient scriptures and teachings.
