The Advaita Guru Parampara is traced from God Himself as Narayana/Sadasiva through Vedic seers, Adi Sankaracharya and his four disciples, Suresvara, Padmapada, Hastamalaka and Totaka. All Dasanami Sannyasis trace their own guru paramparas ultimately through one of these four disciples of Sankaracharya.
