    ..How does the disciplic succession actually work....since there appears to be gaps.....or they did not take diksa from their previous guru in the line?

    Strictly speaking it is not siksa and not diksa. It is a line of acaryas, or liberated souls - our process is to follow the footsteps of acaryas.

    Prabhupada would call it Acarya Parampara.

    Srila Bhaktisiddanta's Saraswati’s disciples have adopted his concept of prioritizing teaching (siksha) over
    formal ordination (diksha) as a sign of relationship and a marker of disciplic
    succession. They thus wish to establish that the renunciate bhajananandi Jagannath
    Das was more significant in Bhaktivinoda Thakur’s life than Bipin Bihari Goswami,
    who represents the Gaudiya Math's bête noire—the householder Vaishnava born in
    the traditional guru families....
