Shri Chakradhar swami

            Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami (also known as Harinatha and Haripala, sometimes spelled Chakradhara) was a 13th-century figure in Vishnaism. He was said to be an incarnation of Nirgun and Nirakar Parmeshwar and is sometimes credited as the founder of the Mahanubhava Sect in Vaishnavism in 1267. Other sources list Govinda Prabhu as the founder and Chakradhara as its first "apostle". Chakradhar propagated a religious movement as well as social movement, in which all were accepted irrespective of their castesand the traditional ritualistic religion was rejected.
