Nimbarka was one of the popular Vaishnava philosopher and mystics in India. He was born in a Telegu Brahman family in the 11th century A.D and he was one of the five principal commentators on Badarayana`s Brahma Sutra. Nimbarka was also the first Vedantic saint who became successful to systematically propound the five main schools of Vedanta. There is popular myth that Sri Nimbarkacharya is actually an incarnation of Lord Hari`s most important weapon, named the `Sudarshana Chakra` or discuss.

The great saint, Nimbarka was also known by the names Aruna Rishi and Haripriyacharya and he was the founder of a new and separate sect, named Nimandi. According to him, the highest reality (Brahma) is the personal God and he is also beyond limits. He propagated that Brahma is omnipotent and omniscient and apart from creating man`s soul (jiva), he has close association with the individual soul as well. Nimbarka advocated the idea that salvation is achievable only through the right kind of knowledge regarding Brahma, meditation and self-surrender to God and also through Karma that is performed not for any selfish gain. The philosophy of Nimbarka is quite popular as `dvaita-advaita` (dualistic non-dualism).
