Key Points

  • Vaishnav sect is the sect of those who consider Lord Vishnu as God.
    • The ancient name of Vaishnav sect or Vaishnav religion is 'Bhagwat Dharma' or 'Pancharatra Mat'.
    • According to 'Mahabharata', due to the inclusion of four Vedas and Sankhyayoga, this Narayaniya Mahapanishad is called Panchratri.
    • The originator of Vaishnav religion was Krishna, who belonged to the Vrishna clan and whose residence was Mathura.
    • There are many sub-sects of Vaishnav:
      • Bairagi, Das, Ramanand, Vallabh, Nimbarka, Madhva, Radhavallabh, Sakhi and Gaudiya sect.
  • Vaishnava sects are divided into four main sects:
    • Sri Sampradaya
    • Brahmo sect
    • Rudra sect
    • Kumar sect
  • These three sects, Nimbarka, Vallabha and Nishkalank, belong to these four main sects.
  • The Laldasi sect is an independent sect worshiping Lord Jagannath.
    • Therefore, Laldasi is not a Vaishnava sect.
