  Dvaita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dvaita, or Dualistic philosophy, also known as Bheda-vâda, Tattva-vâda, and Bimba-pratibimba-vâda, is the doctrine propounded by Ananda Tîrtha (also known as Madhvacharya) that asserts that the difference between the individual soul or jîva, and God,(Îshvara or Vishnu), is eternal and real.
The Dvaita doctrine was summarized by Vyasa Tirtha as comprising nine tenets or prameyas.

 Vedanta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Vedanta is the system of thought embodied in the Upanishads (ca 1500-600 bce), which give forth the ultimate conclusions of the Vedas.
Vedanta is also called Uttara Mimamsa, "upper or later examination," as distinguished from Purva Mimamsa, which concerned itself solely with the earlier portions of the Veda.
The Sutras or aphorisms of Vyasa are the basis of the Vedanta philosophy.

 Madhva (1238-1317 CE) [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Dvaita or "dualist" school of Hindu Vedanta philosophy originated in 13th-century CE South India with Sri Madhvacarya (Madhva).
The main tenet of Madhva's Dvaita Vedanta is that the Vedic tradition teaches a fundamental difference between the human soul or atman and the ultimate reality, brahman.
Madhva's Dvaita Vedanta is recognized as one of the three major schools of Vedanta (besides Sankara's Advaita and Ramanuja's Visistadvaita Vedanta).

According to mayavadi philosophers, vedanta refers to the sariraka commentary of Shankaracharya.
When impersonal philosophers refer to vedanta and the Upanishads, they are actually referring to the commentaries of Shankaracharya, the greatest teacher of mayavadi philosophy.
There are many commenatries on vedanta and the Upanishads made by the vaishnava acharyas, and these are preferred to those of Shankaracharya.
