Chakradhar Swami

Chakradhara (also known as Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami or Kunwar Haripaladeva) is a 13th-century Indian religious leader and the central theological figure of the Mahanubhava tradition. He is regarded as the principal propagator of its doctrines. In Mahanubhava belief, he is revered as Lord (Parameshwar) and as one of the Panchavatar(Panchakrushna), the five supreme manifestations of God in the tradition.

His life and teachings are recorded in the Leela Charitra , a 13th-century Marathi prose text composed by his disciple Mahim Bhatt.
