A better picture of Madhva http://www.tatvavada.org/kan/images/madhva-navaratna1.jpg

Hare Krsna !!!

In the online Bhagvadgita pdf from e-book at krishna.com the Fifth guru in the discplic succesion is given as 'Madhva (Advaita)' and the eigth guru is given as 'Madhava' (Ma in this name is with the dash on the top indicating its Maa).

In the present printed versions the word Advaita is no longer present for the fifth guru.

Another thing is the picture posted by Govindaram Prabhuji is probably not correct , it should probably be this one

Posted Image Got it from : http://www.rvc.edu/iskcon/disciplic_succession.html

My question is does anybody know why the older editions (and the ebook at Krishna.com) of the Bhagavadgita As-it is term the fifth Guru Madhva as Advaita ?

Another information I request is - Can anybody tell me a where I would find list of disciplic succession as followed by the Madhva sampradaya ? Does Gaudiya and Madhva sampradays list of disciplic succession match up till the 18th Guru Vyasatirtha ?

Hare Krsna !!!

That is the right Picture.

I don't know answer to what you asked,

Take a guess that Madhvacharyas Guru was from Mayavadi line, etc, I read BR Sridhara Maharaja gives a good explanation to all this, but can't find it right now!

Good luck.

Though VEdavyAsa was his real guru, vAsudeva chose shrI achyutaprekSha tIrtha, a great ascetic, to be

the guru who would take him into the ascetic order. shrI achyutaprekSha belonged to the Advaita (nondualistic)

school of VEdanta. He had his maTha in the Ananteshvara shrine, and was the spiritual leader of

the community at that time. He was well known for his purity in thought, word and deed. He had studied

the existing systems of philosophy and was conscious of their limitations. He was offering prayers to Lord

Ananteshwara to bless him with true knowledge. Lord Ananteshwara, pleased with his devotion, informed him through the medium of a person, that he would soon get a disciple who would lead him on the correct

path of knowledge and wisdom. VAsudeva approached shrI achyutaprekSha and requested him to take him

as his disciple. achyutaprekSha, who was eagerly waiting for this moment, immediately agreed.
