FAQs
It teaches that divine love (prema) transforms even one associated with worldly domains into a knower of the Supreme—recognizing Rādheśa (Radha-Krishna principle) as the very Self whose nature is sat-cit-ānanda (existence-consciousness-bliss).
Bhakti is shown as a binding force—prema-saṃbandha—through which identity and realization occur: devotion is not merely worship but a transformative union that culminates in direct insight into the Lord’s true nature.
