Teachings

ISKCON's teachings are based principally on the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. Both originally written in the ancient sanskrit language they belong to and encapsulate the large body of texts known as Vedas.

Supplementary to this are the teachings of Lord Caitanya, based on the Vedas and presented by His 17th century followers, the Goswamis of Vrndavana, as books such as Nectar of Devotion and Sri Caitanya Caritamrta.

These timeless teachings describes the effectiveness of chanting the Maha-mantra

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.,

as the most powerful means of reviving your dormant loving relationship with Krsna.

This results in an eternal life of knowledge and bliss, as an alternative to the common experience of a temporary life of ignorance and suffering.
