Vallabhacharya

[Guest guest]

First Sripada Nimbarkacharya, and now Sripada

Vallabhacharya, LOL. This is interesting, to find out

about Vaishnava history as all the four sampradayas

are authorised by Krishna for the Kali Yuga

purification.

 

The Nimbarka line are descended from the Kumaras while

the Vallabhas are descended from the line of Shiva

(and Sripada Vishnu Swami), in much the same way as

the Ramanujas descend from Lakshmi and the

Mahdvas/Gaudiyas descend from Brahma.

Would you mind telling us about it? I am most

interested to hear.

Just one point on that. We speak of all four of these sampradaayas

being "authorized." I often think that we refrain from discussing the

differences. There actually are some important differences, and while

we respect all of these sampradaayas as genuine (since in theory, all

are actually descended from Sri Chaitanya Mahaaprabhu) it doesn't

mean we accept all of their tenets as correct.

Those are nice articles, but in retrospect I'm not sure how accurate

they are. I'm not sure what the sources were for that information.

Also, some of the material is from Navadviipa-Mahaatmya, and thus the

followers of those sampradaayas will not accept it.
