Srila Prabhupada listed the following eight basic convictions
of the Krishna Consciousness Movement: 
1. The Absolute Truth is contained in all the great scriptures
of the world. However, the oldest known revealed scriptures in existence are
the Vedic literatures, most notably Bhagavad-gita, which is the literal record
of God's words.
2. God, or Krishna, is eternal, all-knowing, omnipresent, all-powerful,
and all-attractive, the seed-giving father of man and all living entities.
He is the sustaining energy of all life, nature, and the cosmic situation.
3. Man is actually not his body but spirit soul, part and parcel
of God, and therefore eternal.
4. That all men are brothers can be practiced only when we realize
God as our common father.
5. All our actions should be performed as a sacrifice to the
Supreme Lord: "All that you do, all that you eat, all that you offer
and give away, as well as all austerities that you may perform, should be
done as an offering unto Me." (Bhagavad-gita 9.27)
6. The food that sustains us should always be offered to the
Lord before eating. In this way He becomes the offering, and such eating purifies
us.
7. We can, by sincere cultivation of bona fide spiritual science,
attain to the stage of pure, unendingly blissful consciousness, free from
anxiety, in this very lifetime.
8. The recommended means to attain the mature stage of love of God in the present age of Kali, or quarrel, is to chant the holy name of the Lord. The easiest method for most people is to chant the Hare Krishna mantra:
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare,
Hare Rama, Hare Rama,
Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
