Nimbarka, also known as Nimbarkacharya, Nimbaditya or Niyamananda, was a Hindu philosopher, theologian and the chief proponent of the theology of Dvaitādvaita (dvaita–advaita) or dualistic–non-dualistic sometimes known as Svābhāvika bhedābheda. He played a major role in spreading the worship of the divine couple Radha and Krishna, and founded the Nimbarka Sampradaya.[5][6]
Nimbarka is believed to have lived around the 12th century,[7] but this dating has been questioned, suggesting that he lived somewhat earlier than Shankaracharya, in the 6th or 7th century CE.[2] Born in Southern India in a Telugu Brahmin family,[6] he spent most of his life in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. He is sometimes identified with another philosopher named Bhaskara,[8] but this is considered to be a misconception due to the differences between the spiritual views of the two saints.[1][9]
