The Brahma Sampradaya (Brahma-sampradāya) refers to the disciplic succession (''sampradaya'') of gurus starting with Brahma in Hinduism.〔(Hinduism and Buddhism: An Historical Sketch - Page 239 ) Charles Eliot, 1998〕 The term is most often used to refer to the beliefs and teachings of Madhvacharya〔(The Sadhus and Indian Civilisation - Page 57 ) Vijay Prakash Sharma - Sadhus - 1998 - 209 pages〕 and his Dvaita philosophy. Sometimes it may also refer to the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his Gaudiya theology. A number of worldwide religious movements belong to this line, including ISKCON (founder-acharya: A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami),〔(Female Ascetics in Hinduism ) Lynn Teskey Denton, 2004 - 224 pages〕 which is the follower of Gaudiya Vaishnavism and the main present representative of Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya. Followers of this tradition believe that Vedic knowledge descends from Brahma. In the Vedic conception, these sampradayas began at the creation of the universe and endure to the present moment in the person of the student's own guru. Due to the consistency of the transmission of knowledge, all the previous gurus are present in the teachings of the present spiritual master. The Vedic process assures that the transmission remains pure by assuring the qualifications of the transmitter. Usually Brahma sampradaya is called Brahma-Madhva Sampradaya, because teaching comes through Madhavacarya. Also there is usually linked Gaudiya Vaisnava Sampradaya so it is called - Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Vaisnava Sampradaya List of the Sampradaya members, acharyas, beginning with Krishna Himself: # Krishna # Brahma # Narada Muni # Vyasadeva # Madhvacarya # Padmanabha Tirtha # Nrhari Tirtha # Madhava Tirtha # Aksobhya Tirtha # Jaya Tirtha # Jnanasindhu Tirtha # Dayanidhi Tirtha # Vidyanidhi Tirtha # Rajendra Tirtha # Jayadharma Tirtha # Purusottama Tirtha # Brahmanya Tirtha # Vyasa Tirtha # Laksmipati Tirtha # Madhavendra Puri # a) Isvara Puri, b) Nityananda Prabhu, c) Advaita Acharya # Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu # a) Rupa Goswami, b) Sanatana Goswami, c) Svarupa Damodara Goswami # a) Raghunatha dasa Goswami, b) Jiva Goswami # Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami # Narottama dasa Thakura # Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura # a) Baladeva Vidyabhusana, b) Jagannatha dasa Babaji # Bhaktivinoda Thakura # Gaurakisora dasa Babaji # Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura # A.
