<div class="heading">All the Vaiṣṇava ācāryas, they are connected. Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, Viṣṇu Svāmī, Nimbārka. So we belong to Madhvācārya. Caitanya Mahāprabhu belonged to Madhvācārya. Madhvācārya was direct disciple of Vyāsadeva, and by paramparā, Mādhavendra Purī. Then from Mādhavendra Purī, Īśvara Purī. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted Īśvara Purī as His spiritual master. So we belong to this Madhvācārya-sampradāya, Madhvācārya-sampradāya or Brahma-sampradāya.

<p>Bhagavān: Not all. Some of us.</p>
<p>Professor La Combe: Not all. Some of you.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: We have a very big center in Māyāpur.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Navadvīpa, the birthplace of Caitanya Mahāprabhu.</p>
<p>Professor La Combe: I have been in Navadvīpa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I see.</p>
<p>Professor La Combe: Long ago in 1936.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: 1936. Did you see my Guru Mahārāja?</p>
<p>Professor La Combe: No.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. He passed away in 1936 in December, in December.</p>
<p>Professor La Combe: No, I have not seen him. Probably he was already ill or... He was ill.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Bhaktisiddhānta Saras... That is the photograph of my guru. His Guru Mahārāja and his Guru Mahārāja...</p>
<p>Professor La Combe: And so on.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. This is paramparā. Evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 4.2|BG 4.2]]). Bhagavad-gītā. Find out this.</p>
<p>Professor La Combe: And how do you...? It was one of your pupils who spoke about Rāmānuja.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, Rāmānuja. He belongs to the Śrī-sampradāya.</p>
<p>Professor La Combe: Yes. But there is a connection.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. All the Vaiṣṇava ācāryas, they are connected. Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, Viṣṇu Svāmī, Nimbārka. So we belong to Madhvācārya. Caitanya Mahāprabhu belonged to Madhvācārya. Madhvācārya was direct disciple of Vyāsadeva, and by paramparā, Mādhavendra Purī. Then from Mādhavendra Purī, Īśvara Purī. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted Īśvara Purī as His spiritual master. So we belong to this Madhvācārya-sampradāya, Madhvācārya-sampradāya or Brahma-sampradāya. The sampradāya, the disciplic succession, is coming from Lord Brahmā. Brahmā's disciple is Nārada. Nārada's disciple is Vyāsadeva. And Vyāsadeva's disciple is Madhvācārya. And from Madhvācārya, Mādhavendra Purī, Īśvara Purī. Then Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Then we are, Caitan..., like that.</p>
