The Mahanubhava sect was started by Sarvadnya Sri Chakradhar Swami in 1267. He propagated a religious movement as well as social movement, in which all were accepted irrespective of their castes and the traditional ritualistic religion was rejected. He told his disciples that the lord takes avatars in all four yugas. Same was said by lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita - dharma sansthaapnaarthay sambhavaami yuge yuge. There is no time in this world when no avatar is there. But they told us of only five of the innumerable avatars viz., Lord Sri Krishna, Lord Sri Dattatreya, Lord Sri Chakrapani, Lord Sri Govindaprabhu, and Lord Sri Chakrdhar Swami (himself). Even knowing of one avatar, and walking on the path lightened by them can lead to the ultimate bliss(moksha). But why only these five? This was because these avatars fell in the guru parampara. Lord Sri Govindaprabhu was the guru of Lord Sri Chakradhar Swami, and so on. Lord Chakrapani was the guru of Lord Sri Govindaprabhu, and so on.Lord Sri Dattatreya Prabhu, and Lord Sri Krishna are not said to have another avatar as guru. After giving his precious teaches he went to the North direction in search of adhikaari purush, the men who deserved to see the lord.
