<p>Content Updated.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Gaudapada&#039;&#039;&#039; (c 8th century) [[Sanskrit|sanskrit]] pundit, philosopher and noted scholar of the ancient advaita (non-dualist) community, the preceptor of the famous Vedantist Adi Sankaracharya. He is traditionally believed to be a Bengali. Some scholars think that Gaudapada and the Gaudiya saint named in the account of the Arab Indologist Al-Biruni are the same.<br /> <br /> Gaudapada&#039;s name perhaps derives from his being a resident of Gauda. He also referred to himself as &#039;Gaudacharya&#039; (a teacher from Gauda) in his book Gaudapadakarika (c 780).<br /> <br /> Gaudapadakarika, which contains annotations on the Mandukyopanisad, is a famous Vedantist philosophical treatise, containing 215 shlokas (couplets) divided into four sections: agama, vaitathya, advaita and alatashanti. The treatise is about the Vedantist philosophy that precedes Sankaracharya and the Buddhist secondary nihilism. Later, Sankaracharya quoted slokas from Gaudapada in Shabkarabhasya (1/4/14), annotations on the Brahmasutra. Two other books by Gaudapada are annotations on Sangkhyakarika by Ishwarkrishna and Uttaragita. Gaudapada is believed to be the first Bengali to study the [[Vedas|vedas]].
