Brief Description of a Sampradaya Tradition

Sampradaya or a spiritual lineage is a tradition in Hinduism.   It is like a tree where a guru is its root and depending on the Deity, this system is divided into Vaishnava Sampradaya, Shaivite Sampradaya and Advaitha Vedantha Sampradaya.       Parampara involves passes on the teaching from a guru to his disciples. It is also called a Guru-Shishya tradition. The main thing is that each Parampara belongs to a specific Sampradaya. These traditions are a part of the Gurukul system of Ancient India. This Gurukul or Gurukula word comes from the Sanskrit words “Guru” (teacher) and “Kula” which means family or home. It follows the sacred relationship of Guru-Shishya.
