VAISHNAVISM
—REAL AND APPARENT—

This book contains the essence of true Vaishnavism as revealed in the Vedas the Upanishads, the Geeta, the Bhagavata etc., and their teachings put into practice by Shri Chaitanya Deva. The word 'Vaishnavism' indicates the normal, eternal and natural condition, functions and devotional characteristics of all individual souls in relation to Vishnu, the Supreme, the All-pervading Soul.
