Consider the following statements about Brahma Sampradaya.1. It is ass...
Brahma Sampradaya is one of the four main Vaishnava sampradayas, which originated from the teachings of Lord Brahma. It is also known as the Madhva Sampradaya, as it was founded by Madhvacharya. Let's analyze the given statements:
1. It is associated with Lord Vishnu - Correct
Brahma Sampradaya is a Vaishnava sect, which means it worships Lord Vishnu as the ultimate Godhead. The followers of this sampradaya believe that Lord Vishnu is the supreme deity and all other gods and goddesses are his manifestations.
2. Vallabhacharya founded it - Incorrect
Vallabhacharya founded the Pushtimarg sect, which is also a Vaishnava sampradaya but not the Brahma Sampradaya. Madhvacharya founded the Brahma Sampradaya in the 13th century in South India. He emphasized the philosophy of Dvaita, which means dualism, and believed that the individual souls and the supreme soul are distinct entities.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'A' - 1 only. The Brahma Sampradaya is associated with Lord Vishnu, but it was not founded by Vallabhacharya.
