Pushti Marg means the path of grace.
-
Pushti Marg means the path of attaining Bhagwan through grace.
-
The foundation of Pushti Marg is Hari-Guru Vaishnav.
-
Pushti Marg is the path of love, seva and remembrance.
-
Pushti Marg is experienced when one has dinta (humbleness).
-
Pusti Marg is the path of pure Prem-Lakshana Bhakti, i.e. Bhakti manifested with Supreme Love.
-
Bhagwan manifested Pusti Marg to have His seva performed by pusti souls.
-
The four human attainments sanctioned in the scriptures are – Dharm, Arth (wealth), Kama (desire) and Moksh (liberation). In Pusti Marg 'Dharm' is service of God Shri Thakurji, 'Wealth' is Shri Thakurji himself. 'Desire' is the craving for His glimpses and 'Liberation' is always to remain in the presence of Shri Krishna. Seva (service) and remembrance are the sacred duties of all devotees in Pusti Marg.
-
When seva and remembrance are done lovingly with selfless humbleness, Shri Thakurji pleases and bestows His grace.
-
One should always see the divinity in all vishnavs and maintain relations "lovingly with humbleness".
-
One should always see only the good qualities in a vaishnav, without giving any attention to their faults and should never criticize them.
-
One should consider Shri Mahaprabhuji and Shri Thakurji (Baghwan) to be one and the same, and should not differentiate between them.
-
The descendents of Shri Mahaprabhuji are all divine manifestations; hence they should be regarded as Guru.
-
One is initiated and accepted into Pusti Marg only by these descendents as Gurus.
-
Surrender exclusively to Pushti Prabhu (Bhagwan, the supreme one) and refrain from seeking aashray (shelter) anywhere else.
-
'Brahm Sambandh' is an initiation to re-establish our relationship with Prabhu (Purnaprusotham) from whom we are separated, as a humble servant.
-
We surrender to Shri Thakurji, our egos and attachments through this initation.
-
By surrendering our selves, we get freed from egos and worldly attachments.
-
Satsang is the compulsory duty of pusti souls.
-
Through satsang, our bhava (divine sentiments) becomes enriched and steadfast.
-
One should never lose faith in Prabhu (Shri Thakurji).
-
Both, in happiness as well as in distressful adversities, one should keep full faith in Prabhu. Through steadfast faith (ananya aashray), our exclusive aashray in Pushti Prabhu is perfected.
-
Through seva, performed with total love, an unwavering and abiding attachment for Thakurji develops. This divine attachment purifies and sanctifies the heart which becomes increasingly sensitive to sublime sentiments.
This state is called Vyasan (addiction), and by it, viprayog state (craving for ShriThakurji is perfected when one experiences Prabhu's lila in the inner heart.
