Different sampradayas

Srimad-Bhagavatam

SB Canto 4

Amongst the different sampradāyas (Vaiṣṇava sects) either Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa or Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa is worshiped
SB 4.24.44, Purport: The impersonalists and the voidists also have to see the form of the Absolute. In Buddhist temples there are forms of Lord Buddha in meditation, but these are not worshiped like the forms of the Lord in Vaisnava temples (forms like Radha-Krsna, Sita-Rama or Laksmi-Narayana). Amongst the different sampradayas (Vaisnava sects) either Radha-Krsna or Laksmi-Narayana is worshiped. Lord Siva wants to see that form perfectly, just as the devotees want to see it. The words rupam priyatamam svanam are specifically mentioned here, indicating that Lord Siva wants to see that form which is very dear to the devotees.

Lectures

Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

As I have already explained, there are mahājanas. So all mahājanas, they have got different sampradāyas
Lecture on SB 5.5.2 -- Hyderabad, April 11, 1975: So, our Caitanya Mahaprabhu... We belong to Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu belongs to Madhvacarya-sampradaya. As I have already explained, there are mahajanas. So all mahajanas, they have got different sampradayas. Just like Lord Brahma, he has got his sampradaya; it is called Brahma-sampradaya. Similarly, Lord Siva has his sampradaya; it is called Rudra-sampradaya. Laksmiji has got his (her) sampradaya; it is called Sri-sampradaya.

Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

All the Vaiṣṇavas of different sampradāyas, especially Gauḍīya sampradāya, you should come forward to fight this
Room Conversation on New York court case -- November 2, 1976, Vrindaban: Krsna cult means all the acaryas, all the acaryas, either Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Nimbarka or anyone, they should combine together. (Hindi) (aside:) Why you are talking? It is not very important. It is for him. It is a very bad habit. (aside ends) So we should be very alert in this point. All the Vaisnavas of different sampradayas, especially Gaudiya sampradaya, you should come forward to fight this. They are gathering their strength. We should gather our strength. Fight, Krsna never said that "Don't fight." (He) never said (to) Arjuna that "You are My devotee, you don't fight. You are very good gentleman, nonviolent, and I shall do everything for you." (He) never said that.
