Vaishnav Chinha Nirupan - Ten Keys
Here is a rough translation of ten key points. These are printed on the back of a small booklet "Vaishnav Chinah Nirupan". Kindly excuse any mistakes or lack of details introduced in the translation process and please feel free to highlight and help to correct the same.
Shri Hari:
The following disciplines (Niyams) laid down below increase devotion (love) in Bhagvan Shri Krishna and the devotee finds help when following the path of Bhagvad Bhakti. After taking Brahmsambandh, it is necessary for all Vaishnavs to follow these disciplines (Niyams)
1. Always wear Kanthi and Tilak and to stop making use of Asamarpit things.
2. Keep one's thoughts and actions pure
3. Keep total faith in ParBrahm Bhagvan Shri Krishna and be without (live without) worries having faith in Thakorji
4. Keep utmost, highest level of belief in our Sampraday
5. Be aware of Bramsambandh (of having taken it and its requirements,etc)
6. To consider the seva/worship of Shri Krishna as the prime duty
7. Throughout life follow /implement Vivek, Dhairya, Bhakti and Krisha-Ashray
8. To be helpful according to one's capacity, to Go (Cows/cattle), Brahmans and Vaishnavs
9. To try and do the Shravan, Manan and implement where required the Bhagvad Shastras.
10. To keep Deen Bhaav, considering oneself as Prabhu's Daas and to discard Abhiman (arrogance/false pride)
A small attempt to present and pass on some of the basic, yet highly important teachings of this "Path of Grace" through 'prasangs' (stories and anecdotes) and other teachings, in the hope that they will help to remove any doubts or misconceptions and will prove to be an enjoyable learning experience.
