Спасение души через воспоминание о Боге на смертном одре в вероучении Международного общества сознания Кришны

Abstract

The article touches upon the prescriptions of the followers of the International Society for Krishna Conscious-ness (the ISKCON) on the subject of atonement of sins on the deathbed through remembrance of God in order to avoid subsequent karmic retribution in further rebirths. The author analyzes the data on atonement of sins and the relationship between karma and reincarnation in the dogmatic literature of the ISKCON. Particular at-tention is paid to analyzing the work of the founding acharya of ISKCON, A.Ch. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prab-hupada’s “One More Chance”, based on the Srimad-Bhagavatam purana, as this is the work Srila Prabhupada dedicates to the remembrance of God before death and gives instructions for believers. To summarize the dogmatic tenets of the ISKCON on religious practices of soul salvation, the author draws a conclusion based on the analysis of literary sources.
