Advaita Acharya (b 1434 CE), is famous as a Gaudiya Vaishnava saint, and as being one of the close companions of the eminent Vaishnava preacher Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He was born in Bengal in 1434, some fifty years before Chaitanya, and spent most of his adult life in the town of Shantipur, with his wife and family as a well respected leader of the local brahmana community. At Shantipur, he taught the philosophy of Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, and promoted the path of Bhakti Yoga, (loving service to Krishna, as the Supreme God). He is considered to be a combined incarnation (avatar) of both Maha Vishnu and Shiva (collectively named Harihara) within the Gaudiya tradition.

Life Story

According to Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, in his later years Advaita
Acarya became increasingly saddened with the growing tendency of the
general populous to abandon their spiritual practices in pursuit of materialistic
goals. He believed that this was leading to a disfunctional society of
unhappy individuals, and after due thought, concluded that the only
solution was for him to offer prayers, begging his Supreme Lord, Krishna to come himself as an avatar and attract people back to the joyfulness of spiritual life.

After reaching this conclusion Advaita Acharya is said to have
prayed fervently to Krishna for several months – crying out very loudly
and worshipping him in the form of his Shaligram Shila with sacred Tulasi leaves and Ganges water. At the end of thirteen months during an eclipse of the full moon, the Acarya’s prayers were purported answered when Chaitanya Mahaprabhu advented in the district of Mayapur, as the son of Mother Sachi.
