Lipner and devoted his time to researching the 'Krishnaology' of ISKCON's founder. Another scholar of Hinduism, Dr. Guy Beck, has published on the Krishnology of the Vaishnava sect known as the Radhavallabha Sampradaya. Dr. Beck expounds upon this research in his book Alternative Krishnas : Regional and Vernacular Variations on a Hindu Deity.
