Vaishnavism: An Introduction
page 3
The Chaitanya School of Vaishnavism
teaches that everything in this world is simultaneously inconceivably
one and yet different from God. Krishna's mystical powers enable him to
be both immanent and transcendent. Krishna, with his lover Radha, is worshiped
as the Divine Lover, and liberation is seen as eternal enjoyment of this
love in heaven. (See also the Hare Krishna Movement-ISKCON.)[link]
