Pranam Sri Vaishnava
Sri Vaishnava, please bless me. Sri Vaishnava please bless me Krishna Prem
I have a question. Was Adi Sankarcharya God Conscious or Krishna Conscious? Why do Sri Vaishnavas not accept the teachings of Sankara Sampradaya (disciplic succession)? Since the teaching of Adi Sankarcharya is from disciplic succession, does that mean Adi Sankarcharya was Krishna Conscious? Was Adi Sankarcharya Krishna Conscious while at the same thing gave wrong informative/knowledge/teachings to the public because Krishna wanted Adi Shankaracharya to do that?
Sri Vaishnava, I believe in the Sri Guru Parampara. I have another question. What makes the 4 Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya true, while Sankara Sampradaya not true?
How do we know which Sampradaya is true? I ask this question because in the future there might be a different Sampradaya that contradicts/goes against Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya. In this situation, how do we judge which Sampradaya to follow?
Is Sankara Sampradaya true because knowledge came through Parampara just like Sri Vaishnava Parampara?
Sri Vaishnava, please guide and bless me alot. Jaya Prabhupada

Adi Shankaracharya is often considered a proponent of Advaita Vedanta, which emphasizes non-duality, whereas Sri Vaishnavism promotes a dualistic view centered around devotion to Krishna. This foundational difference is why Sri Vaishnavas may not fully accept his teachings.
@tunnel rush, evaluating which one resonates with your own spiritual experience and understanding can be a guiding factor in your journey

Living beings should be more interested their own consciousness than consciousness of others.
how do we judge which Sampradaya to follow?
What qualification does anyone have to judge a sampradaya.
