Namaste,
the world has a new sampradaya. Vishwananda now has his own sampradaya, the Hari Bhakta Sampradaya, in which he is the sole authority.
Our Tradition - Bhakti Marga
If someone had asked me, I would have branded Vitthala instead,
1. because the name Hari is already taken (it is mostly associated with a certain other religious community)
2. because Vishwananda teaches a Vitthala mantra
3. because the word "Vitthala", the mantra Sri Vitthala Giridhari Parabrahmane as well as the emblematic figure of Vitthala are very memorable even though they're unknown to most people in Europe.
