"The pancaratrika Vaisnava principles of medieval South India have to some extent
entered within the current practices of the Gaudiya Vaisnavas. Descendants of the
Gaudiya Vaisnava acaryas became more or less attached to the path of arcana, like
the followers of the Pancaratras, and spread subordination to Sriman Mahaprabhu
sometimes in its pure form but more often in a perverted form." Brahmana and Vaisnava http://www.krishnapath.org/library/goswami-and-acharya-free-download-books/bhaktisiddhanta-sarasvati-thakura/
