- Lord Krishna, Bhagavad Gita 18.66
My Notes
These are my personal understandings — please refer to scriptures for authoritative knowledge.
Bhakti Yoga is the path of devotion, the most direct way to experience the Divine. Through loving service to Lord Krishna, one purifies the heart and awakens eternal bliss. As Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita: "Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear."
Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the source of all incarnations and the cause of all causes. He appeared on Earth 5000 years ago in Vrindavan to establish dharma and share the eternal wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. His enchanting flute, beautiful peacock feather, and divine smile attract all living beings towards Him.
In this age of Kali Yuga, the chanting of the holy names of the Lord is the most effective spiritual practice. The Hare Krishna Maha Mantra cleanses the mirror of the heart, extinguishes the blazing fire of material existence, and spreads the white lotus of good fortune.
Lord Nityananda and Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (Nitai Gaur) are the most merciful incarnations of the Lord. They freely distributed love of God to everyone without discrimination. By their grace, even the most fallen souls can attain the highest spiritual perfection.

Foundation
We are not this body; we are eternal spiritual souls (atma). The soul is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss. It never dies, is never born, and transmigrates from body to body until it achieves liberation through devotion to Krishna.
Every action has a reaction. Good karma leads to good results, and bad karma leads to suffering. However, actions performed in devotion to Krishna are free from karmic reactions and lead to liberation.
Maya is the illusory energy of Krishna that makes the eternal soul forget its true nature and become attached to the temporary material world. Through Krishna Consciousness, one can transcend maya.
Beyond this material world exists the eternal spiritual world, Goloka Vrindavan, the abode of Lord Krishna. It is the ultimate destination of the soul, where one can enjoy eternal loving relationships with the Supreme Lord.
