Srinivasacharya (Sanskrit: श्रीनिवासाचार्य, श्रीनिवास, romanized: Śrīnivāsācārya, Śrīnivāsa;c. 7th century) also known as Srinivasa, was a vedantic philosopher and theologian. He was a disciple of Nimbārkacārya and an acharya of Nimbārka Sampradāya. Srinivasacharya composed Vedānta-Kaustubha (a commentary on the Brahma Sūtra) at the request of Nimbārkacārya. Srinivasacharya's philosophical framework, known as Svabhāvika Bhedābheda, emphasizes the natural distinction and similarity between the individual soul and the supreme being.
