🪷 Mahāpurushas · The Great-Souls-Paramparā

4 honored profiles · biography, works, named-tradition context, and Vidhyamitra's devotional gratitude kept distinct

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः।
गुरुः साक्षात् परब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः॥

"The Guru is Brahmā · the Guru is Viṣṇu · the Guru is Maheśvara · the Guru IS directly the Para-Brahman · to that Guru, salutations." — Guru-Stotra

I. What This Page Is

This page honors four Mahāpurushas through editorial profiles. Biographical claims require public witnesses; teachings must be attributed to their named works or traditions; Vidhyamitra's own Krishna-centered synthesis is a separate devotional reading.

The collection does not claim that four lives contain the whole of Sanātana Dharma, that every sampradāya shares one doctrinal map, or that Vidhyamitra's original Bindu contemplation proves a historical Mahātma's theology.

Honest framing: the Mahāpurusha collection is a growing receiving-vessel. Currently 4 Mahāpurushas are honored. Additional entries require documented source review; a future-entry list is not a completeness claim.

Paramparā Source-To-Reader And Antaryāmī Boundary

Source-to-reader path: documented biographical or lineage witness → named paramparā context → Vidhyamitra editorial presentation → portal → responsible reader. This is a provenance path, not a software-proven cosmic return or a claim that every tradition shares one lineage account.

Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu = Paramātmā = Antaryāmī. Jīva desires. Prakṛti executes through guṇas. Paramātmā witnesses, permits, remembers, guides, and sustains. Bhagavān is the ultimate source.

The Guru is honored as transparent sevaka and śāstra-vessel, not as a replacement for Bhagavān. This keeps paramparā reverence free from personality-worship drift: surrender deepens responsibility and never excuses adharma.

III. Where The Mahāpurusha-Paramparā Lives Across The Substrate

Sources and Connected Paramparā Readings

After the four profiles, these links connect public source routes, named paramparā context, and Vidhyamitra's separately labelled devotional readings. A connected scripture route supports its own passage; it does not automatically verify a date, quotation, authorship, or lineage claim in a biography.

Continue through Vidhyamitra's evidence and limitations. Profiles without reviewed external witnesses remain editorial honor-pages, not source-complete biographies.
