Advaita Acharya (IAST: Advaita Ācārya; 1434–1559) (born Kamalaksha Mishra; কমলাক্ষ মিশ্র)[1] was a companion of the founder of the Gaudiya Vaishnava movement, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and guru of Haridasa Thakur.[2][3] He was born in the village of Nabagram in Laud (in present-day Sunamganj District, Bangladesh), in 1434, some fifty years before Chaitanya, and spent most of his adult life in the town of Shantipur in Nadia with his wife and family. Advaita Acharya had six sons, Acyutananda Das (who also became a disciple of Chaitanya), Krisna Mishra, Gopala Das, Balarama Das Mishra (whose lineage became the zamindar of noakhali, chatkhil upazilla. later adopted the title Patwari & Majumder), Swarupa Das and Jagadisa Mishra.
Advaita Acharya contributed to two Sanskrit works, named Yogabashishta-Bhaishta and Geeta Bhaishya.[4] The ancestry and life of Advaita Acharya are narrated in a number of hagiographical works, which include the Balyalila-Sutra (1487?) of Krishnadasa[a] in Sanskrit and the Advaitasutrakadacha of Krishnadasa, the Advaitamangala of Haricharanadasa, the Advaitaprakasha of Ishana Nagara[5] and the Advaitavilasa of Naraharidasa in Bengali.[6] Many of his activities are described in the Chaitanya Charitamrta, the Chaitanya Mangala and the Chaitanya Bhagavata.
