Mahanam Sampradaya (Bengali: মহানাম সম্প্রদায়) is a Krishnaite revival movement founded in the last decade of the 19th century within Bengali Vaishnavism in the Bengal Presidency of colonial British India and spiritually inspired by Prabhu Jagadbandhu.[1] As
tradition-sampradaya and institution it was formed in early 20th century by Sripad Mahendraji[2] Presently followers of Mahanam Sampraday are centered in West Bengal, India and throughout Bangladesh.[1] Radha Krishna, Gaur Nitai and Prabhu Jagadbandhu are the chief deities worshiped by the Mahanam Sampradaya.[citation needed]
