Vaisnava Theology

Vaishnava theology is a branch of Hinduism centered on the worship of Vishnu, who is viewed as the supreme god, and his incarnations, including Rama and Krishna. It emphasizes devotion (bhakti) as the primary means of attaining spiritual liberation. Followers believe in a personal relationship with God, engaging in practices like prayer, meditation, and rituals. The teachings highlight love, compassion, and the idea that God is both immanent and transcendent. Texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Puranas are foundational, promoting a path of righteousness, service, and community in pursuit of divine connection.
