Nimbarka

Nimbarka was a 13th-century Indian philosopher and spiritual leader who founded the Nimbarka Sampradaya, a tradition within Hinduism. He emphasized a personal, loving relationship between the soul and the divine, particularly focusing on devotion to Lord Krishna. His philosophy combines elements of dualism and devotion, teaching that the soul and God are distinct but delighted in their loving bond. Nimbarka's teachings highlight humility, love, and surrender as key to spiritual awakening, aiming for a union with the divine through loving devotion and service. His insights continue to inspire followers in their spiritual journey today.
