Like the various Vaishnava Sampradayas, what are the major disciplic lines for the other 5 sects: Shaiva, Shakta, Ganapatya, Kaumara, and Saura?

    to clarify, by disciplic lines do you mean sri-vaishnava, gaudiya etc. ? – ram Nov 22 '18 at 04:12
  • Yes sir, that's what I meant. They are also known by the siddhantas... Vishistadvaita, dvaita, dvaitadvaita, shuddhadvaita, acintya bhedabheda etc. But more importantly each have a proper guru parampara listed. I have heard about such differentiation in siddhanta with Saivas but haven't seen or read much for the other mathas. Hence the question. – Ambi Nov 22 '18 at 05:19
  • They do have the lineage stemming from Adi Shankara.. But I do not know of any specific lineages... –  Nov 22 '18 at 12:34

Following are the Sampradays that I know of:

Vaishnava: Rudra, Kaumara, Sri, Brahma and others like Samartha, Varkari

Shaiva: Siddhanta, Pratyabhijna, Natha, Veera

Shakta: Srikula, Kalikula

Ganapatya: Morya Gosavi

Not sure about Saura.
