The Seven Basic Principles of Reality

1. That Supreme has many names such as Krishna, Allah, Christ and
Jehovah. He either personally appears in this world or sends His
representative, the spiritual master, to us to teach us how to
revive the dormant love of God within our hearts through bhakti yoga
or devotional service.

2. That bhakti yoga process of reviving our dormant enlightened
consciousness is centered around the chanting of the Holy Names of
God. Although any names of God may be chanted, the Vedic
literatures especially recommend that we chant these names to
quickly be elevated to the pure spiritual platform:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

3. Since we are what we eat, we should only consume vegetarian
foodstuffs that have been offered first to the Lord with love and
devotion before being eaten, and we should live a simple pure
existence free from sinful activities such as meat eating, illicit
sex, intoxication, and gambling.

4. Since everything comes from something and nothing comes from
nothing, there must necessarily be an origin or a source for all
that exists.

5. Since so many persons exist within reality the source must
possess personality. Otherwise how could it produce personality?

6. That Original Supreme Person is emanating us from Himself for the
purpose of enjoying loving relationships with each and every one of
us. Therefore the purpose of our existence is to love Him there only
this will satisfy us and nothing else.

7. Out of His infinite kindness upon us, that Supreme Person is
giving us a system by which we can revive our forgotten, dormant
love for Him. That system is known as bhakti yoga or devotional
service.
