Dos Mula

BY HRSIKESANANDA DAS

EDITORIAL, Oct 9 (VNN) — The TEN ROOTS (of Gaudiya Vaishnavism)

By Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura (Kamala Manjari)

1. "Vedic Authority (which proclaims...)
2. The highest tattva (reality) is Hari;
3. He possesses all potencies;
4. He is an ocean of (transcendental) tastes;
5. The jiva-souls are His separate particles;
6. They (the jiva-souls) can become bound up by material energy;
7. And they (the jiva-souls) can also become freed from material bondage;
8. Everything is a manifestation of Hari which is both different and non different (from Him);
9. The spiritual method is pure bhakti (devoid of karma-misra & jnana-misra);
10. The spiritual goal is divine love only

These (10 roots) are the direct teachings (advice) of Gaura Chandra Himself."

(Literal translation from Sanskrit by Hrsikesananda das)
