Nimbarka

(flourished 13th century, South India) Indian yogi and founder of the devotional sect called Nimbarkas or Nimandi. Little is known of his life except that he was a Brahman and a notable astronomer. Like Ramanuja, he believed that the creator god and the souls he created were distinct but shared in the same substance, and he stressed devotion to Krishna as the only means of liberation from the cycle of rebirth. The Nimanda sect flourished in the 13th–14th century in eastern India.
