Table Of The Disciplic Succession :

In the Brahma Sampradaya, which is the 'sampradaya' of Sri Sripad Madhwacarya, up until Madhwa, I have included in the flow of devotees the lineage accepted by the general Brahma Sampradaya, but after Sripad Madhwacarya there are some changes. The reason for this is that there is no mention of anyone from Brahma, and arad, to !yasa, and then to Madhwa. "efinately they were the great 'acaryas' in our line, but as well as them there were many worthy souls who gave in many cases their very life to the mission of the 'parampara'. #ver the course of the entire span of time that the 'parampara' has e$isted there has been one main root of the tree, with many four main trun%s, and then many branches, sub&branches, etc., coming from them. "uring the so'ourn of that tree in spanning the yugas to reach where we are today in the (ali )uga different devotees have branched out to further spread the 'parampara'. I have tried to include some of these changes, but with branches, and sub&branches, .....this tree is so vast* #n various trips to India it has brought great pleasure and inspiration to visit the various temples in the mutts especially in South India. The devotees there, in those 'mutts', and associated with them, in most cases, seem to carry a special +uality of Madhwacarya with them. aturally there will always be more or lesser favourites, that's the nature of individuality. ,owever, as an aspiring Brahma&Madhwa&-audiya !aisnava my main presentation is of that line. To those in other Madhwa Mutts I offer my respects as great !aishnavas, but for a moment let us loo% into the dynamic preaching arm of the Madhwa body, the IS(.# -audiya line, which has now spread the glories of Sripad Madhwacarya not only throughout the world, but throughout the universe./0.. Bha%tivedanta Swami 1rabhupada in the purport of Sri .aitanya .aritamrta 0di lila 2:23.4 I hope and pray, that as no offence is intended, that no offence will be ta%en due to my presentation. 0lthough we unfortunate souls, due to %armas and the 5ord's design have ta%en our present birth in families outside of the !edic culture it was not entirely an ordinary thing, by the great good fortune and e$treme mercy of Sri .aitanya Mahaprabhu and by the mercy of our Srila 1rabhupada, we have been brought bac% into the !edic culture, and have received '!aishnava di%sha', initiation again according to the 'agamas' of the '1ancaratri%i' system of '!aishnava' initiation & such initiation has been recognised by the line of guru parampara purvacharyas.
