Srinivasacharya (Sanskrit: श्रीनिवासाचार्य, श्रीनिवास, romanized: Śrīnivāsācārya, Śrīnivāsa;c. 7th century[4][8]) also known as Srinivasa, was a vedantic philosopher and theologian. He was a disciple of Nimbārkacārya[9] and an acharya of Nimbārka Sampradāya. Srinivasacharya composed Vedānta-Kaustubha (a commentary on the Brahma Sūtra) at the request of Nimbārkacārya.[6][10][3] Srinivasacharya's philosophical framework, known as Svabhāvika Bhedābheda, emphasizes the natural distinction and similarity between the individual soul and the supreme being.
