Yes, there are. Some of the more important traditions or sampradâya-s are: • The Smârta sampradâya (Advaita); not all are Vaishnavas, but many are. • The Sri-Vaishnava sampradâya (Vishishtâdvaita). • The Mâdhva sampradâya (Tattvavâda, aka Dvaita). • The Gaudiya-Vaishnava sampradaaya (Bhedâbheda). • The Vallabha sampradaaya (Shuddhâdvaita). • The Nimbâraka sampradâya (Dvaitâdvaita).
