Nivruttinath (c. 11 February 1273 – 24 June 1297) was a 13th-century Marathi Bhakti saint, poet, philosopher and yogi of the Vaishnava Nath tradition. He was the elder brother and the mentor (guru) of Dnyaneshwar, the first Varkari saint.[1][2]
Family and early life
Nivruttinath was born in Apegaon village on the bank of Godavari river near Paithan in Maharashtra into a Deshastha Brahmin family during the reign of the Yadava King Ramadevarava.[3][4]
Nivruttinath was one of the four children, and the eldest son, of Vitthalapant, a kulkarni (hereditary accountant), and Rakhumabai.[5]
Vitthalapant and his wife gave up their lives, within a year of each other by jumping into the Indrayani River,[6] leaving two sons, Dnyaneshwar and Sopan, and a daughter, Muktabai,[7] to be taken care of by Nivruttinath.
Nath Tradition
At around the age of 10, Nivruttinath's family moved to Nashik. During a pilgrimage trip, Vitthalapant along with his family was confronted by a tiger. The family escaped while Nivruttinath got separated from the family. He hid in a cave on the Anjani mountain where he met Gahaninath, who initiated Nivruttinath into the wisdom of the Nath tradition.[6][8][9]
Dnyaneshwar as disciple
The Natha Tradition is an initiatory Guru–shishya tradition.[citation needed] After the death of their parents, [8] Nivruttinath initiated Dnyaneshwar into the Nath tradition and become his teacher (Guru).[10]
Nivruttinath advised Dnyaneshwar to write an independent philosophical work. This work later came to be known as Amrutanubhav.[11][12][13]
Death and Resting Place
After the Samadhi of Dnyaneshwar, Nivruttinath left Alandi with his sister, Muktabai for a pilgrimage. During a thunderstorm, Muktabai was lost. Nivruttinath then attained Samadhi. The Resting place is situated near Trimbakeshwar. At his resting place, a temple has been erected which is visited by numerous devotees.
