Does anyone have any more information about the Nimbarka sampradaya? I am highly interested in this sampradaya...

Especially when it seems so close to Gaudiya Vaishnavism... but with a different mood, and different bhava. To me, this is the closest I can come to with an orthodox form of Vaishnavism for myself.

Thank you so much, and God bless you all! :D

Haribol, Smaranam!

As a person who desires to be a Vaishnava as much as possible, I would like to be part of the Hamsa Sampradaya, even when I myself am not a very good and would not make a very good strict Vaishnava. :D

I can also add this Gita here http://www.bhagavad-gita.org/#Treatises

It is by a Gaudiya Vaishnava, Srila Narayan Maharaj... however, it has a translation of the commentary by Srila Keshava Kashmiri, who was a follower of the Nimbarki sampradaya.

Thank you so much for the links, and I look forward to studying this glorious, this magnanimous sampradaya!

Haribol, Harinam

It is nice to hear you want to look deeper into HaMsa (Nimbarka) SampradAy
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu took 2 good things (chintamaNi gems ?) from each sampradAy

1. From Nimbarka - taking shelter of Radha - a very important component of GV today, and special nikunj seva of Swami HaridasJi comes in this line.

2. From Ramanuj - dAsya, servitude and Deity Worship

3. From Vallabhacharya - raag bhakti marga - very instrumental piece, the most important - centre.

4. From MAdhav - well He inherited it entirely, but also shAstra-presentation, ardent dasya, worship elements.


It is very nice to read rasik commentaries and lectures by NarayaN Maharaj. I did not know Keshav Kashmiri is from Nimbarka.

This is a very good website, it has everything. I had not seen this particular page with all acharyas' Gitas, thanks. I know Radhikesh Prabhu does a khichadi of Gita commentaries from Baldev Vidyabhushan, Vishwanath Chakravarti Thakur, Bhaktivinod Thakur etc.

There is another website which shows 4 Gita translations from the 4 sampraday acharyas in four quandrants on the same page. Does anyone know where it is ? Someone here was asking about VaishNav Gita commentaries, that is why i ask.
