Dasanami Sampradaya (IAST Daśanāmi Saṃpradâya), literally Tradition of Ten Names, is a Hindu monastic tradition established by Adi Shankara in the 8th century CE in India. Those Hindus who take up sannyasa in the Advaita Vedanta or Smarta tradition take up one of the ten names associated with this sampradaya. In North India, these monks are organised into Akhāḍas. In the 16th century CE, Madhusudana Saraswati organised the Naga tradition of armed sannyasis in order to protect Hindus from the tyranny of the Mughal rulers.
