Keshava Kashmiri Bhattacharya (15th Century, also known as keshavacharya (sa|केशव काश्मीरी भट्टाचार्य, केशवाचार्य|translit=Keśava Kāśmīrī Bhaṭṭācārya, Keśavācārya) was an Indian philosopher, theologian and poet. He was a Brāhmana, born in the province of Maharashtra, in the village named Vaidūrya-pattanam, also known as Pratiṣṭhāna. He was disciple of Mukunda and Gāṅgala bhaṭṭāchārya. He became the 33rd ācārya of the Nimbārka Sampradāya. Tradition is that he conquered thrice all learned men of his time. Hence the epithet 'Jagadvijayī is often prefixed to his name.
Keśava Kāśmīrī Bhaṭṭācārya, originally known as Keśavācārya, earned the epithets "Bhaṭṭa" and "Kāśmīrī Bhaṭṭācārya" in recognition of his contributions to religious propagation, his triumphs in philosophical debates, his efforts in countering heretical sects, and his time spent in Kashmir as a pilgrim. However, he would personally refer to himself simply as "Keśava" with brevity. This preference is reflected in the concluding verse of his work Kramadīpikā, a text composed in a cyclical style, where he identifies himself:"Keśavena kṛtā Kramadīpikā" (This Kramadīpikā is composed by Keśava).
His first conquest consisted in vanquishing Vidyādharācārya, a scholar of the Śākta school of thought in Kaśmīra, and gave him the name Vrajeśācārya. Vrajeśācārya wrote in 1450 a commentary on Keśavakāśmīri's Kramadīpikā. His second conquest consisted in driving away the Yavanas from Mathura. After his second conquest Keśavakāśmīrin set out on his third conquest, vanquished the Śākta sect in Bengal, defeated all learned men of Navadvīpa and settled himself in Kaśmīra."
Keśava Kāśmīrī Bhaṭṭācārya's works are:
Kramadīpikā is a work of eight chapters dealing mainly with the ritualistic parts of the Nimbārka school of religion. This work deals very largely with various kinds of Mantras and meditations on them.
It was adopted in the rituals of the Jagannātha temple in Purī, and is quoted in the Haribhaktivilāsa of the Gauḍīya Gosvāmins.
Jagganatha Puri
The Kramadīpikā is an authority on the Krsna worship quoted in the Gopālarcanavidhi of Purusottamadeva (the first and the most standard work on the worship of Jagannatha-Krsna, 15th c.) explicitly refers to the bijamantra of Krsna-Jagannātha as being a "Pradyumna-Mantra" (a Mantra of Pradyumna or Kāma) and designates it as jaganmohana-bewitching the world. “mantrah pradyumno jaganmohano'yam” (kramadīpikā 2.12)
