Govinda Bhagavatpada (IAST Govinda Bhagavatpāda) was the guru of the Hindu philosopher Adi Shankara.[1] Little is known of his life and works, except that he is mentioned in all the traditional accounts (Shankara Vijayams) as the teacher of Adi Shankara. He was the disciple of Gaudapada (IAST Gauḍapāda).[2] He is mentioned in the first verse of Adi Shankara's prakaraṇa grantha (treatise) Viveka Chudamani. He is named after Gaudapada in the Guru Parampara (lineage) of Sringeri Sharada Peetham.[2] He is considered to be an incarnation of Shesha.
