The Hindu : It's sampradaya unlimited Sampradaya is one of the foremost archiving and research institutions in South Indian music traditions. Sampradaya has in their possession archival material on possibly every aspect of South Indian music. Bharath who was working in Sampradaya feels that this is the only place where a full three-hour concert of many great artistes can be experienced by all. www.hindu.com /2001/04/05/stories/09050704.htm   (925 words)

Indian Heritage - Music - Institutions - Sampradaya SAMPRADAYA (which literally means "handing down of tradition") is essentially a resource centre for South Indian music traditions. Sampradaya was founded in1980 by two students of South Indian music. Michael Nixon, a student of the veena and Ludwig Pesch, a student of the flute, under the inspiration and general guidance of the late Savithri Rajan, founded Sampradaya with the purpose of documenting 'Sampradaya Sangeetham'. saigan.com /heritage/music/samp.htm   (351 words)

Philosophy II. Fixing the vital air and the mind in one of the six circles of vital air circulation within the body [cakras], thus concentrating one's mind on the transcendental pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is called samadhi, or samadhana, of the mind. Sampradaya is a Vedic spiritual tradition or school. Mostly the present-day adherents of the sampradayas (excepting, of course, the Gaudiya branch of the Madhva sampradaya) do not know this, but at least they are dutifully worshiping their founder-acaryas, who are devotees of Lord Caitanya. www.veda.harekrsna.cz /encyclopedia/philosophy2.htm   (2829 words)

Sampradaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Hinduism, a Sampradaya is a tradition of disciplic succession serving as a spiritual channel and encompassing a common philosophy embraced by many schools, groups, or guru lineages (called parampara). Initiation is the only means by which one can become a member of a sampradaya; one cannot become a member by birth, as is the case with Gotra, a seminal, or hereditary, dynasty. There are also Shaivite sampradayas, for example, the Nath and Nandinatha Sampradayas. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sampradaya   (268 words)

Nath - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema The Nath Sampradaya, a development of the earlier Siddha or Avadhut Sampradaya, is an ancient lineage of spiritual masters. A recent modern Nath of the Adinath Sampradaya was Shri Gurudev Mahendranath (1911-1991), who received initiation in 1953 from H.H. Shri Sadguru Lokanath, the Avadhut of the Himalayas. Membership in the sampradaya is always conferred by initiation (diksha) by a diksha-guru—either the lineage-holder or another member of the sampradaya whose ability to initiate has been recognized by his diksha-guru. www.egnu.org /thelema/index.php/Nath   (1095 words)

Hinduism Today | May 1986 I eventually took initiation in Vallab sampradaya about a year or two afterward and lived on the Goverdan hill, which was the hill which Lord Krishna upheld to ward off Indra's rains for 7 days. Vallab sampradaya's realistic monism is different from Shankara's interpretation of monism and parallels closely Kashmiri Shaivism and perhaps other forms of Saivism as well in that it is a real advaita philosophy that does not incorporate Shankaracharya's theories of maya, the world being false. Vallab sampradaya is centered in the lilakirtan which means singing the exploits or the divine pastimes of Sri Krishna in a more classical Indian raga system. www.hinduismtoday.com /archives/1986/05/1986-05-03.shtml   (2099 words)

Amazon.com: Sampradaya: Music: Shiv Kumar Sharma   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Sampradaya is the passing of tradition from master to disciple, from one generation to the next. I was VERY disappointed in the "Sampradaya" album: I don't think the father and son integrate very well, and I never felt the release of streams of melodic invention I expect from Shivkumar Sharma: he seems to always hold himself back in order to let his son keep up.... Sampradaya refers to disciplic succession and for this three-part, hour plus journey Sharma illustrates the process with his son Rahul and chosen tabla accompanist Shafaat Ahmed Khan. www.amazon.com /Sampradaya-Shiv-Kumar-Sharma/dp/B00000I8BC   (1668 words)

The Hare Krsnas - Current Vaisnava Schools of Thought - Writings of Rocana dasa The four Vaisnava Sampradayas, including our Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya, are the main vehicles with which the Supreme Personality of Godhead fulfills his promise to assist the embodied living entities in escaping the bondage of material life and returning to their eternal constitutional position in the Spiritual World. This is the merciful, far-reaching, visionary spirit of the Sampradaya Acarya, which cannot be compared to the restrictive, artificial barriers imposed by the institution or the religionists. Spiritual missions that are established by Sampradaya Acaryas should have as their primary focus an imperative to preach and teach the unalloyed message of the founder. www.harekrsna.com /philosophy/vada/writings/sampradaya_acarya.htm   (9032 words)

Sampradaya Pranali by Srlla Bhakti Promode Puri Gosvami The word sampradaya is a passive nominal formation from the Sanskrit verb root, sam-pra-da ('to hand down'). Lexicographers define it as 'the instruction that is passed down in a line of spiritual masters.' This is also called disciplic succession or guru parampara, and implies that such instruction in spiritual truth is passed down personally from teacher to disciple in a direct chain (srauta-parampara). The scholars of the other sampradayas were astonished by the quality of Baladeva's commentary and were mollified by it. www.gosai.com /chaitanya/saranagati/html/sampradaya.html   (3558 words)

Hinduism Today | Jan 1985 Hinduism is the sum total of thousands of sampradayas and by understanding the nature of and relations between the various samparadayas, we can come to a more discriminating understanding of understanding of Hinduism. For example, the Smarta sampradayas that stem from Adi Sankarachariya teach that Vedanta is the universal theology which encompasses all Hindu deities. The Natha sampradayas teach that manifest being is an emanation of Lord Siva. www.hinduismtoday.com /archives/1985/01/1985-01-02.shtml   (1240 words)

SRUTI-India's premier music and dance magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Sampradaya's sweep covers the different genres of music-- art, temple, folk, and ritualistic. The focus of the festival was on dance music, an area of relative neglect of late, in spite of, or perhaps because of, prolific and often mindless, activity in the field of dance. In such a context, Sampradaya's choice of the subject was of timely relevance. www.sruti.com /Feb04/nnote.html   (867 words)

Devotee Memorial Sampradaya cared passionately about his troubled country, and when he discovered the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, wanted to do his best to share them with his oppressed brothers and sisters in his homeland. Prabhupada said to his disciples: ‘Try to deliver your countrymen,’ and Sampradya was a great example of someone who tried to do just that. But this is what Sampradaya did with considerable determination. www.iskcon.net /inmemoriam/devotees/d_Sampradaya.html   (194 words)

Introduction to high energy vedic Rudraksha beads rosary The present form and rules set in the Nath Sampradaya is supposed to be 200 years before Lord Shankaracharya’s birth. Barah Panth or the 12 sects in the Nath Sampradaya are: Choti Guru- The guru intiates the disciple in the Nath Sampradaya by formally cutting some of his hair and granting the disciple symbolic saffron clothes of the Sadhu asking him to follow the discipline of always having self-control over all his senses. www.rudraksham.com /rudraksha/Nathsampradaya-1.htm   (751 words)

Gaudiya Math - Part I He accepted the sampradaya and was initiated by the disciple of Srila Madhavendra Puri, Srila Isvara Puri. It is noteworthy that the importance of the individual spiritual masters is the lifeline of the spreading of the sampradaya, never to overshadow the supreme importance of the Supreme Lord or the Gaudiya Vedanta Siddhanta. Taking into consideration the history of the sampradaya, we see how the individual spiritual masters are not given the same importance as the different disciples must give to their different individual gurus. www.salagram.net /GM-IntroGM.html   (8226 words)

Disappearance Day of Sri Baladeva Vidyabhusana The opposing party then said, "You have no bona fide Vaisnava sampradaya." Baladeva Vidyabhusana then proved the Gaudiya Vaisnavas are in the line of Sri Madhvacarya. Sampradayas are established by His powers and associates. The names of all the sampradayas refer to the names of devotees: Sri-sampradaya, Brahma-sampradaya, Ramanuja-sampradaya and Madhva-sampradaya. www.purebhakti.com /lectures/lecture19980604.shtml   (1550 words)

Gaudiya Discussions -> sampradAya vihIna ye mantras te niSphala mataH The entire archive of discussions will be kept available for the foreseeable future in its current state, hosts of valuable discussions took place during the active years of the forum. These verses are inevitably followed in Gaudiya works by the listing of the Madhva sampradaya's acharyas, a list that has been shown to have certain problems--problems that are more understandable if one is 200 years away from Chaitanya rather than contemporaneous (like Karnapur or Hariram Vyasa). on the one hand he presents that there are four sampradayas and provides a link to the Madhvas and on the other he seems to substantiate a fifth sampradaya. www.gaudiyadiscussions.com /index.php?showtopic=1021   (1663 words)

Sri Lanka Hindu Natha Yoga Siddha Siva Guru Sampradaya means a distinct tradition or denomination within Hinduism. The Nandinatha Sampradaya integrates an deeply religious and traditional Hindu lifestyle of devotion and service with yoga practices that take us to the goal of existence. One such venerable spiritual tradition is this Kailasa Parampara ("lineage of teachers") of the Nandinatha Sampradaya, whose present-day embodiment is Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami. www.himalayanacademy.com /satgurus   (1894 words)

Krishna.com :: History of the Bhakti Tradition Srila Prabhupada, the movement’s founder, was a spiritual master of the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya sampradaya, which begins with Lord Krishna and includes His most recent descent, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The lineage is known as the Brahma sampradaya because at the beginning of creation Lord Krishna Himself enlightened Brahma, the original inquisitive soul, the first created being. The line later becomes known as the Brahma-Madhva sampradaya because of the prominent teacher Madhva (A.D. Still later, the line becomes known as the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya sampradaya after the line is joined by Sri Chaitanya (1486-1534), who appeared in the region of Gauda (Bengal) and imbued the tradition with new vigor. www.krishna.com /main.php?id=550   (187 words)

Untitled Document I hypothesize that it was because of the aforementioned contrariety in regards to the Sampradaya Acarya. It is a great shame that those who advocate the Sampradaya Acarya concept are looked upon suspiciously by the authorities in various institutional camps. Regardless, we must keep in mind that Srila Prabhupada is a Sampradaya Acarya, and as such is infinitely more qualified and capable in all activities, some of which are potentially dangerous to a neophyte's spiritual health. www.chakra.org /discussions/succMar13_05.html   (2203 words)

ICJ - The Sampradaya of Sri Caitanya - Steven Rosen and William Deadwyler III ICJ - The Sampradaya of Sri Caitanya - Steven Rosen and William Deadwyler III The question of  sampradaya, or the disciplic lineage of spiritual teachers, is the basis of authority for all religious and philosophical teachers and movements arising from the Vedantic traditions. The four orthodox sampradayas teach basically the same thing, which is that is one is an eternal servant of Visnu or Krsna, or one of his many incarnations. www.iskcon.com /icj/4_1/satya_rsd.html   (4726 words)

Student Organisations of the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies The main duty of the Student Welfare Committee is to problem solve and attend to the welfare of students of CIHTS.

The Hare Krsnas - Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Vaisnava Sampradaya Therefore, we being in disciplic succession of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, we are known as the Madhva Sampradaya. But all these Sampradayas are non-different from one another because they believe and worship the Supreme Lord. So the Gaudiya Sampradaya did not make any commentary on the Brahma-sutra because they took it, Caitanya Mahaprabhu took it as, Srimad-Bhagavatam, as a natural commentary, because Srimad-Bhagavatam is also made by Vyasadeva and Vyasadeva is the original author of Brahma-sutra. www.harekrsna.com /philosophy/bmgs/brahma-madhva.htm   (1255 words)

Nisargadatta Maharaj In the Sociology of Religion -The Navnath Sampradaya, there is an account of Revan-nath meeting Dattatreya and Matchindranath, “ One day while engaged in agricultural work he had the vision of Sri Dattatreya and by his grace he attained mahimasiddi (occult power) on the basis of which he had performed several miracles. According to the Sociology of Religion: a Case Study of Nimbargi Sampradaya by K.B. Dabade, “Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj, guru was born in Patri, a village near Solapur in Maharshtra in 1888. Each guru in the Navnath Sampradaya transmitted the Truth in ways that those around him would be able to assimilate, in ways that were in accord with the societal influences of the time. nisargadatta.net /Navnath_Sampradaya.html   (9613 words)

Untitled Document The ACHARYA is one who sets a milestone in the evolution of the SAMPRADAYA, as Srila Vyasadeva did by recording all the Vedic literatures, as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu did by introducing the sankirtan movement and as Thakur Bhaktivinoda and Srila Bhaktsiddhanta did by introducing and utilising all modern facilities for preaching the message of Krishna consciousness. If the necessity of the sampradaya ACHARYA is understood, the neophyte followers in any or all camps would or will see Prabhupada as all in all and their PROVINCIAL GURU as a servant of Prabhupada, experienced to some degree and capable of helping the newcomer in the philosophical and practical application of the ACHARYA'S TEACHINGS. By serving the sampradaya acharya, all devotees can harmoniously serve Krishna as one family, although the individual devotees may be under different gurus in different parts of the world. www.harekrsna.org /pada/documents/sampradayacarya.htm   (8279 words)
