Sri Krishna Premi is not a Sri Vaishnava AchAryA ie. doesn't come under Sri Vaishnava guruparamparA / rAmAnuja siddhAntam, though he has given lot of lectures on Sri Vaishnavam. If he is a Sri Vaishnava AchAryA, can you please inform us the AchAryA under whom he underwent samAsrayanam (initiation into the paramparA) ? As far as adiyEn's knowledge goes, he is a vadamA advaitin following bhajana sampradAyam laid down by advaita AchAryAs of 16th-18th centuries like BOdhEndrAL, Sad guru swAmi and others. This fact is very much verified with Sri Vaishnava AchAryAs like Sri U.Ve. V.S. KarunAkaran SwAmy. Infact, this is evident from the books of Sri Krishna Premi wherein he discusses these things. adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan ananthapadmanAbha dAsan krishNArpaNam
