I have a similar question. It seems to me that the RAmAnandIs in the North place greater emphasis on the name of RAma (cf. RAma-nAmIs, etc.) than do the ZrI vaiSNavas in the South. Is this so? Certainly TulasIdAsa, whether he is a RAmAnandI or not, stresses the Lord's name almost as much as do the followers of ZrI Caitanya. But perhaps I'm just ignorant of the Southern tradition. MT
