Nimbarka Sampradaya

The Nimbarka Sampradaya, also known as the Kumara Sampradaya, Hamsa Sampradaya and Sanakadi Sampradaya, is a Vaishnava tradition founded by the Telugu Brahmin philosopher and yogi Nimbarka, whose dates are disputed, with scholarly opinion ranging from the sixth or seventh century to as late as the thirteenth century. The tradition teaches Dvaitadvaita, or dualistic non-dualism, holding that the individual soul is simultaneously different from and identical to the supreme being, and centers devotional practice on Krishna paired with Radha. Its primary center is Vrindavan, and it is followed today mainly in India and Nepal.
