Bhāskara (philosopher)
Bhāskara was an Indian philosopher in the Bhedabheda tradition of Vedanta philosophy. We are told the period between 500 and 1200 A.D. was the Golden Age of Indian Astronomy. During this golden period an Indian wizard was born who contributed greatly to the conception of Astronomy and Mathematics. He was none other than Bhaskaracharya. He was bestowed an apt title by Ganesh Daivadnya for his genius work in Astronomy and Mathematics calling Bhaskaracharya “Ganakachakra chudamani” which means “a Gem among all the calculators of astronomical phenomena.”
He wrote commentaries on the Brahma Sutras, and contested Shankara's doctrine of māyā.[1]
