From Bharatpedia, an open encyclopedia

Sri Kesava Bharati was a Hindu member of the Sankarite renunciate order. He bestowed sannyasa on Chaitanya Mahaprabhu when the latter requested it.[1]

In the Sri-Gaura-Ganoddesa-dipika of Kavi Karnapura, Kesava Bharati is listed as the reincarnation of Sandipani Muni.
