Any sampradāya, either the Śaṅkara-sampradāya or Vedānta sampradāya, if they have no standing on the Vedānta-sūtra, they are not recognized. They are (not) recognized. In . . . the Indian system is, in the spiritual society, that if you have got any sampradāya particular, then you must present your explanation of Vedānta-sūtra, how do you understand Vedānta-sūtra. On the basis of that understanding you will be recognized.
So the Vaiṣṇava-sampradāya, they are also Vedāntist. And because Vaiṣṇava-sampradāya, they are concerned with the bhakti, bhakti, I mean to say, cult, therefore our society, the Vaiṣṇavas, they were pleased to give me this title, Bhaktivedanta that, "You will explain the Vedānta-sūtra." So this Bhaktivedanta title was especially offered to me, and I do not know why. That's all. So that Vedānta means bhakti, devotional service. That is the Vaiṣṇava philosophy.
