World Vaisnava Association

[1][4][5] Already in February 1994 the leaders published initial copy of the periodical World Vaisnava Association Newsletter.

[1] Among the WVA prominent founding members were the 97-year-old Bhakti Pramod Puri Goswami [ru] (who became the WVA first president),[1] Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha (a vice-president), Paramadvaiti Swami [es] (a former secretary)[6] and Tripurari Swami.

[8] The WVA recognizes solely traditional denominations,[disputed (for: No members of the traditional Gaudiya Vaishnava lineages (parivars) are members of the WVA)  – discuss] those perceive extraordinal role of the Gaudiya Math,[clarification needed][9] and are not promoting any particular teachings (as example of rejected novation,[clarification needed] the ideas of the ritvik movement).

[2] Since 2002, the president of WVA is the acharya of the Sri Chaitanya Gaudiya Math, Srila Bhakti B. Tirtha Maharaj.
