Category:Govinda Bhagavatpada Gufa Mandir, Omkareshwar
The Gufa temple of Omkareshwar is a cave temple on the Mandhata island. It marks the Hindu monastery and site where Govinda Bhagavatpada and his student from Kerala named Adi Shankara – both influential Advaita Vedanta philosophers – studied and expanded on the central texts of Vedanta around 800 CE. This site along with the banks of the Narmada river is also believed by Hindus to be a cherished center of Vedantic studies since at least the 7th-century, as well as the home of Gaudapada, the teacher of Govinda Bhagavatpada.
The Gufa temple is relatively small, is dedicated to Shiva, and hosts statues of Advaita Vedanta scholars. Hindu pilgrims make offerings to Shiva as well as the statues of the scholars.
This Gufa mandir in Omkareshwar-Mandhata should not be confused with the Gufa mandir in Bhopal or others in the Himalayas.
