Gadadhar Chattopadhyaya is an Indian Hindu mystic and non secular chief who lives in Nineteenth-century Bengal. Gadadhar approaches his non secular life via the trail of devotion to the Goddess Kali, and by observance of varied components from Tantra, Vaishnav Bhakti, and Advaita Vedanta, in addition to experiences with Christianity and Islam. After earnest follow of varied non secular traditions, he holds that the world's religions represented "so many paths to succeed in one and the identical purpose". His followers come to treat him as an avatara, or divine incarnation, as do a few of the distinguished Hindu students of his day.
