Can User:GourangaUK please explain the change of the title and how this particular sampradaya relates to all Gaudia Vaisnavas where each one has a different line. Wikidās 15:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
If this is to be the template for all Gaudiya Vaisnava's rather than just ISKCON I will start including some of the other Acarya from the Gaudiya Sampradiya Syama ( talk) 04:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I was thinking that this template would look much nicer horizontal, as it could be placed at the bottom of the pages like the Hinduism template. As it is it seems all the pages linked on the template don't include the template, and vice versa, all the pages with the template aren't included on it. So while the disciplic succession is important, it may not be so important that it needs to take up a huge area on each page. I think pages would benefit from being sideways, and perhaps having having a "show" button Chopper Dave ( talk) 18:36, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I would suggest using a horizontal layout as an option to the vertical that may fit some articles and their it can be placed at the bottom and in both cases can have a show button. Parampara has this verticality built in it (ie coming down) - it means that only articles that 'take part' in the parampara have it displayed horizontally.
I think however a different horizontal template should illustrate the ISKCON as a whole, including temples, dhamas, philosophy etc. Wikidās ॐ 21:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I would suggest adding instead of replacing. In fact two templates for ISKCON to be added. Can we put links in the following categories:

Looking at your SB User:Chopper_Dave/scrapbook I do think that instead of abbreviation a Krishna Consciousness Sampradaya is a better title for this horizontal option. ISKCON sounds very institutional. -- Wikidās ॐ 21:16, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that this is the disciplic succession of Bhagavad-gita As it Is, as I found this exact order on the last page of the introduction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.39.125 ( talk) 05:33, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Why is every other link pointing to Madhva disambig? -- Redtigerxyz Talk 05:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Recently, I was in a used book store and began comparing the older versions of the Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is with the newer version. On the last page of the introduction, one can find a list entitled "The Disciplic Line of Succession". Well, there were clearly 33 names listed under The Disciplic Line of Succession in the older version, but there are only 32 in the newer (current) version. So, I went down each list and found the one that had been changed (and/or combined) from the two different versions. As I recall, the inconsistency occurs around number 28. "(Baladeva) Jagannatha". This is where it's confusing for me. Is this a combination of Baladeva Vidyabhushana and Jagannatha dasa Babaji ? They were clearly two different people, and one was not initiated by the other. Baladeva studied under Visvanatha Chakravarti, who is listed as number 27 on The Disciplic Line of Succession, but Jagannatha accepted initiation (diksha) from Jagadananda Goswami, and later accepted Babaji initiation from Madhusudana dasa Babaji (and neither Jagadananda Goswami nor Madhusudana dasa Babaji are listed in The Disciplic Line of Succession). So, I found this inconsistency to be quite interesting.
I haven't had much luck finding more information about this online, or a direct lineage comparison and discussion regarding the two different lists, but I did find this: Muralidhar das, of The Sampradaya Sun, wrote the following in this article [1]: "The Parampara list given by Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in the introduction to Bhagavad Gita As It Is is the same list Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur gave in his commentary to Chaitanya Charitamrita. Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj Prabhupada listed the spiritual masters in his Guru Parampara as follows: '26) Narottama, 27) Visvanatha, 28) (Baladeva) Jagannatha'. It is to be noted that Narottama lived some two generations before Visvanatha and that Visvanatha lived two generations before Jagannatha das Babaji. Baladeva was a contemporary of Visvanatha. This list, therefore, is not a list of initiating Gurus and their direct disciples. Rather, it is a list of the most significant spiritual masters in the school of thought of Sri Chaitanya."
