Shri Nimbarkacharya (1000 - 1100 circa) was born in the modern Murgarapattam in the southern Dravidian province. He was the son of Aruna and Jayanti, a very pious Brahman couple of the Tailanga order. He was named Niyamananda at birth.
He is believed to be the incarnation of the Sudarshana Chakra (the Discus weapon of Krishna). At the end of Treta Yuga, the Brahmanas, being afraid of the Asuras, prayed to Lord Hari. They also prayed to Brahma who himself prayed to Lord Hari again. Then the Lord summoned his own Sudarshana Chakra, a part of Himself- and commanded him to descend on earth to revive and teach the Vaishnava Dharma which was waning and which he could learn from Narada and spread it all around.
