• Shri Mahaprabhuji
• Shreeji Bawa
• Shri Yamuna Maharani

We, the Vaishnav Sangh of Queensland, declare our faith in the Pushtimarg, a spiritual path founded by Shri Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji in the 15th century. We are dedicated to the divine service of Prabhu Shri Krushna, known as Shri Thakorji, and follow the teachings outlined in Shri Mahaprabhuji’s Shodash Granths (Sixteen Scriptures).

As believers and practitioners of Pushtimarg, we adhere to the following core principles:

1. Unconditional Surrender (Saranagati)

   We place our complete faith and devotion in Prabhu Shri Krushna, surrendering ourselves to His will and accepting His grace in our lives.

2. Nurturing the Soul through Pushti Bhakti

   Pushti Bhakti is unconditional love without any motive for Prabhu Shri Krushna. Both the End and Means are Prabhu Shri Krushna, i.e. Praman, Pramay, Sadhan and Fal.

3. Brahmasambandha

   We consider the initiation of Brahmasambandha to be a sacred ceremony that establishes a spiritual bond between the devotee and Prabhu Shri Krushna. It signifies our acceptance of Shri Mahaprabhuji and his descendent Vaishnavacharya Goswami Shri Dwarkeshlalji Mahodayshri (Kadi - Amdavad) as our spiritual guide, who leads us on the path to divine grace.

4. Devotional Services (Seva)

   We dedicate ourselves to serving Shri Thakorji through various devotional services. These sevas, performed with love and devotion, deepen our connection to the divine and help us achieve spiritual growth.

5. Adherence to Shodash Granths

   We strive to follow the teachings of Shri Mahaprabhuji as expounded in the Shodash Granths. These sacred texts guide us in our daily lives and teach us the essence of Pushtimarg.

6. Community and Fellowship

   We recognise the importance of Satsang, or the company of Krushna Bhakts, in our spiritual journey. We aim to foster a supportive community that shares and nurtures the teachings of Pushtimarg.

7. Divine Leelas

   We celebrate the divine leelas (plays) of Prabhu Shri Krushna, as these stories are an essential part of the Pushtimarg tradition. They serve to inspire and uplift us, reinforcing our faith and devotion.

8. Spiritual Progress

   We acknowledge that our spiritual journey is an ongoing process and strive for continuous growth and self-improvement. We embrace the teachings of Pushtimarg as a means to deepen our understanding and progress in our spiritual path.

9. Serving without Prejudice or Discrimination

   We commit to serve all individuals without any prejudice or discrimination. We believe in the inherent equality and dignity of all human beings, and our services shall be extended to everyone, regardless of their caste, creed, gender, age, or socio-economic background.

10. Spiritual Head

    We appoint Vaishnavacharya Goswami Shri Dwarkeshlalji of Kadi-Amdavad or his successor appointed by him who is a descendant of Shri Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji as our permanent spiritual head.

As part of the Vaishnav Sangh of Queensland, we pledge to uphold the principles of Pushtimarg and strive to embody the teachings of Shri Mahaprabhuji in our daily lives. May our faith and devotion to Shri Thakorji guide us towards spiritual fulfilment and eternal bliss.
