Akshobhya Tirtha (c. 1282- c. 1365) was a Dvaita philosopher, scholar and theologian.[1] Born as Govinda Shastri, he received sannyasa from Madhva and later succeeded Madhava Tirtha as the pontiff of the Madhvacharya peetha from (1350 - 1365). [1][2] A non-extant work titled Madhva Tantra Samgraha is attributed to him. [1] Sharma contends that Akshobhya retired to Pandharapur in his twilight years where he encountered a youth called Dhondu Pant on the banks of Bhima river, who would later go on to be his disciple and successor, Jayatirtha. [3] His mortal remains rest at Malkhed.
