Bengal (born in the Faridpur region)

Madhusūdana Sarasvatī (c. 1540–1640), the Advaita Vedānta philosopher and Krishna devotee, was born into a Bengali Brahmin family in a village of the Faridpur area—in the Kotalipara region of present-day Gopalganj district, Bangladesh. He later settled in Varanasi as a leading expositor of Advaita.
