Like the various Vaishnava Sampradayas, what are the major disciplic lines for the other 5 sects: Shaiva, Shakta, Ganapatya, Kaumara, and Saura?

1to clarify, by disciplic lines do you mean sri-vaishnava, gaudiya etc. ?– marNov 22, 2018 at 4:12

Yes sir, that's what I meant. They are also known by the siddhantas... Vishistadvaita, dvaita, dvaitadvaita, shuddhadvaita, acintya bhedabheda etc. But more importantly each have a proper guru parampara listed. I have heard about such differentiation in siddhanta with Saivas but haven't seen or read much for the other mathas. Hence the question.– AmbiNov 22, 2018 at 5:19

Following are the Sampradays that I know of:
Vaishnava: Rudra, Kaumara, Sri, Brahma and others like Samartha, Varkari
Shaiva: Siddhanta, Pratyabhijna, Natha, Veera
Shakta: Srikula, Kalikula
Ganapatya: Morya Gosavi
Not sure about Saura.
