His philosophy

His philosophy is dvaita. Brahman is Hari or Vishnu definable to an extent by the Vedas. He has a transcendental form, Vyuhas, Incarnations are His parts and Lakshmi is distinct. The qualities of Brahman are it is fully independent, the cause of all causes , supreme bliss, devoid of false attributes but possesses all qualities. The soul is atomic, it pervades the body by intelligence, infinite in number, Karta and Bhokta. Creation is the actuation of what is in the womb of matter and soul by the action of Brahman. The cause of bondage is the divine will of the Supreme and ignorace of the soul (svarupa). The process of release is through whole hearted devotion, study of the Vedas and detached karma. The goal is to gain release from samsara and restoration of one's own individual form.
