Six Principles of Srivaishnavam
- Sriman Narayana is the supreme self; unparalled and unsurpased - Ahameva Param Tatvam.
- The lord has all the insentient and sentient as his body, and He is the soul of everything - Darsanam Bhedam Eve Cha.
- The way to get salvation is surrendering to the feet of the Lord - Upayeshu Prapatisyaat.
- There is no need to adopt contemplation on the Lord during our final breath - Anthima Smruthi Varjanam.
- After the soul departs from the material body, it gets salvation if he/she adopted the means of surrender (saranagathi) - Dehaavasaane Mukthisyaat.
- One should approach a fully qualified Vaishnava acharya and get enlightened - (Poorna)achaaryam Samaasraya.
