Madhwacharya was born in Pajaka village near Udupi in Karnataka. His father was Madhwagehabhatta and mother Vedavati. Lord Vishnu was their family deity. It is said that at a very tender age, he displayed abundant knowledge. He had his education in Vedas and Upanishads from Achyutapreksha. The same teacher later inducted Madhwacharya into sanyasa. While studying under his guru, Madhwacharya independently gained great knowledge about the religious scriptures and defeated his guru in a debate. He advocated ‘Dwaitha’ philosophy. Dwaitha means two. According to this philosophy, the human soul and the Divine soul are separate.
Do you know this?Ashtha mutts: Palimaru, Adamaru, Krishnapura, Puttige, Shirur, Sode, Kaniyoor and Pejawar mutts.
In order to propagate his philosophy, Madhwacharya took to piligrimage to various places and participated in debates. He brought Lord Krishna’s idol which was hidden in a muddy hillock called Gopichandana and installed it in Udupi. Further, to enable regular worship of Lord Krishna, he established eight mutts called the Ashthamaths.
According to Madhwacharya, the world is not maya or illusion. It is as true as Paramatma or the Divine Soul. Between these, the Divine soul is independent and the rest of the world is illusionary. The Divine soul and the human soul have a Lord and Servant relationship. Lord Vishnu or Narayana alone is supreme. Worship of Lord Vishnu can elevate the human soul and thus enable it to attain moksha.
Works of Madhwacharya:Geetabhasya, Geethatatparya nirnaya, Mahabharata tatparya nirnaya, Vishnutatparya nirnaya, Bhagawata tatparyanirnaya, Mayavadakhandana etc.
