Swami Shivanand Dadaji: Spiritual Lineage of Enlightenment
India is the holy land with the great spiritual lineages from ancient times. There have been many sages and saints in these lineages, who taught the way of intense meditation and penances to reach the ultimate goal of human life.
The great spiritual master Swami Shivanand Dadaji, a spiritual Guru and a preceptor, comes from the lineage of Shri Adi Shankaracharya & Shri Dhuniwale Dadaji.
To know more about this great lineage, we’ll have to go back to the historical era of Shri Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century CE. Adi Shankaracharya was a disciple of Shri Govinda Bhagwatpada. He was a vedic scholar and a spiritual reformer of his time. He is most commonly known for his systematic reviews and commentaries on the ancient Indian scriptures and texts. He is regarded as the founder of Dashnami sampradaya in Hinduism. Adi Shankaracharya organized the Hindu monks of ten sects under four monasteries or mathas.
These four monasteries were – Dwarka at the west, Jagannath Puri at the east, Sringeri at the south and Badrikashram at the north. Each of these monasteries were headed by his four chief disciples. These four chief disciples of Adi Shankracharya preserved and propagated the teachings of Adwait Vedanta.
One of his chief disciples was Shri Totakacharya, who headed the Badrikashram monastery in the north. He composed the famous Totakashtakam in praise of his master Adi Shankaracharya.
Shri Totakacharya initiated many disciples from the Badrikashram monastery. One of his disciples was Shri Acharya Kamal Bharti. Acharya Kamal Bharti reviewed & reinstated the ancient tradition of “Narmada Parikrama”, which means the circumambulation of river Narmada. He preached the spiritual significance of Narmada Parikrama. He was an ascetic and lived all his life on the bank of river Narmada.
