	Dvaita Documentation: Vaishnava FAQ
		Vishnu is the Deity worshipped in the Vedas and their scriptural adjuncts; according to Vaishnavas, He is the Supreme Lord, and is the only entity primarily praised in all true scriptures.
		While the exact details of what are acceptable and what not vary between different schools of Vaishnavism, and even between different institutions within the same school, most practicing Vaishnavas reject such stimulants as coffee, cocoa, tea, tobacco, alcohol, and any items including these, from their diets and habits.
		As different schools of thought all claim to be Vaishnava, but as Vaishnavism in any flavor does not derive from prophets as do some other religions, it has never had a history of Crusades, fatwas, Inquisitions, et cetera.

		Brahmanism, or Hinduism, is a blanket term referring to the independant religions of Vaishnavism and Vedism.
		Although some sects of Vaishnavism may not concede absolute supremacy to the Brahmin, they do not oppose the Brahmins as such, but attempt to transform all other castes into Brahmins.
		Hence, the Smartas represent an independant derivation from Vedism, while Vaishnavism is not an outgrowth of the Smarta sect, as is sometimes claimed.

		They are referred to as "samhitas," "agama," "pancaratra" and "tantra." Gaudiya Vaisnavas rely primarily on the Naradapancaratra, Gautamiya Tantra, and Brihad-Gautamiya Tantra.
		Needless to say, the Gaudiyas draw from the right side of the tantra in their approach to the left wing of Krishna's gopis (vama gopis) headed by Radha.
		Even Catholic mysticism, in which Christ is conceived of as bridegroom of the soul is a relationship steeped in reverence, unlike the paramour love of Krishna in which Radha's love subordiantes Krishna.

	Position Paper on ISKCON by the Poornaprajna Vidyapeetha
		The Gaudiya school of Navadvîpa (Bengal) was founded in the early 16th century by Sri Krishna Chaitanya, essentially as a school based on the primacy of intense and emotional love for the Divine preached by the founder.
		As a group accepting many of the tenets of Dvaita and as Vaishnavâs, it is sometimes felt that the differences in doctrines are minor and can be allowed to coexist, as they are, in the larger interest.
		The philosophical position of ISKCON vis-a-vis other feuding Gaudiya denominations is unclear due to differences among the different groups themselves, as well as a lack of clarity in the doctrines, compared with Dvaita, which is a well-defined system.

		It all looks pretty straight forward to me in terms of how to practice it.Mustering the will to do is another thing.There is a danger of seeing something that the mind objects to in Srila Prabhupada's books and in the name of 'essence seeking'turn those words on their head and do just the opposite.
		Paramahamsa: Yeah, that was, the reason was because of, he didn't want the devotees going to Gaudiya Matha But there's nothing wrong with the idea of studying the previous acaryas' books.
