Totapuri
Ishwar Totapuri (also Tota Puri: (ベンガル語:তোতাপুরী): (ヒンディー語:तोतापुरी)) affectionately known as "Nangta Baba" ( – ), born likely in Punjab, India, was a ''parivrajaka'' (wandering monk) who is said to have followed the path of the Advaita Vedanta, which is often disputed due to the meager information that exists on Totapuri.
By the time he arrived at Dakshineswar Temple in 1864, he was a wandering monk of the Dasnami order of Adi Shankara, and head of a monastery in the Punjab claiming the leadership of seven hundred sannyasins. He is said to have initiated Ramakrishna into Advaita Vedanta,〔Swami Nikhilananda, ''The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna'' (1972), Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center, New York〕 as well as Anandpuri Ji from the Advait Mat tradition.〔Geaves, R. R., ''From Totapuri to Maharaji: Reflections on a Lineage (Parampara)'' (2007), in ''Indian Religions: Renaissance and Revival'', ed. Anna King. London: Equinox, 2007〕
Totapuri taught Ramakrishna that the sole reality of the impersonal Absolute could only be realized in a state of consciousness devoid of all conceptual forms.〔Von Dehsen, Christian D. (Ed.) Writers''Philosophers and Religious Leaders'' p.159, Oryx Press, 1999〕 Ramakrishna described Totapuri as "a teacher of masculine strength, a sterner mien, a gnarled physique, and a virile voice", and addressed him affectionately as Nangta, the "Naked One", because as a renunciate he did not wear any clothing.〔
