	Dvaita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Madhva states that Vishnu is not just any other deity, but is rather the singular, all-important and supreme one.
		Madhva is considered to be one of the influential theologians in Hindu history.
		Madhva's singular contribution was to offer a new insight and analysis of the classical Vedantic texts -- the Vedas, Upanishads, Brahma Sutra, Mahabharata, Pancharatra, and Puranas -- and place uncompromising duality, which had been ravaged by attacks from Advaita, on a firm footing.

	Madhva (1238-1317 CE) [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Madhva's insistence on the modal distinction between the atman and brahman, wherein the former is inalterably dependent upon--and therefore, fundamentally different from--the latter, insures Visnu-as-brahman's complete and utter transcendence of the human soul.
		Madhva's emphasis on the validity of experience as a means of knowledge is intended to refute the nondualist position that the differences we experience in daily life are ultimately a shared illusion with the ambiguous ontological status of being neither real nor unreal.
		Madhva's Dvaita Vedanta is recognized as one of the three major schools of Vedanta (besides Sankara's Advaita and Ramanuja's Visistadvaita Vedanta).

		Madhva’s parents naturally objected and so it was not until he was about 16 years of age that Madhva was able to leave home and become a sannyasi.
		Madhva was so effective in his teaching that he soon won the conversion of his former teachers and many other learned men to his new school of Vedic thought.
		Madhva chose the clay (gopi-candana) that was used for the ship’s ballast.

	Meditations on Madhva
		Madhva, or Madhvacárya, in the context of Indian philosophy, holds a pre-eminent place as the proponent ‘absolute’ of the Dvaita, or Dualist, school of Vedanta.
		Madhva recognised the creation of external substances, as B N K Sharma, a noted Madhva scholar, once put it, “in a Pickwickian sense.” Real creation, in Madhva’s view, was tantamount to an eternal dependence of the world of matter, and souls, on God, as would involve their non-existence in the absence of God’s will.
		Madhva demonstrated how philosophy could devolve, fulfil its purpose, and even attain its zenith, by allowing every mortal to comprehend the eternal effulgence and indivisible or indissoluble connexion of bimba-pratibimba bhava [reflection as a trans-empirical entity] that exists between the infinite and the finite.

	Madhva
		Madhva is regarded as an incarnation of Vayu, the Wind-God.
		Madhva took to the study of the Vedas and the Vedangas and became well-versed in them.
		Every follower of the Madhva school should have a firm belief in the Pancha-bheda—five real and eternal distinctions—viz., the distinction between the Supreme Being and the individual soul, between spirit and matter, between one Jiva and another Jiva, between the Jiva and matter, between one piece of matter and another.

		It is said that when Madhva was at Kanyakumari he was challenged by a great impersonalist scholar of the Sankara school to write his own commentary on Vedanta if he disagreed with the teachings of the master.
		Madhva, however, was superhumanly powerful--it is said that he was an incarnation of Vayu, and managed to personally carry the Deity to Udipi.
		When Madhva was finally allowed to speak on his own behalf, he spoke in Persian, addressing the king at length on devotional theism.

		He was born in the family of very elevated brahmanas and from his early childhood performed many amazing pastimes, such as the killing of a huge serpentine demon named Maniman, simply with the big toe of his left foot.
		Madhva was only eight years old when he received spiritual initiation and at the age of twelve he accepted the sannyasa order and began to travel the length and breadth of India.
		Madhva recognized the soul of man to be potenially divine; but man, in the ignorance of his true status, has lost his soul to his body and its cravings, and needs to be awakened by God himself or His devotees.

		The term Sattvika, Rajasa, and Tamasa are applied to the jivas in their tripartite classification, according to Madhva, with reference to their basic nature of Caitanya going beyond the play of prakrti and its guna s: "yo yac chraddhah sa eva sah" (Gita 17.3).
		Madhva calls his theory of bondage by the name of svabhava ajnana vada.
		Even though the jiva is a self luminous being, still, it is not inconceivable that he should become subject to ignorance of his own true nature and of the nature of God and of his true relationship with Him, as he is a dependent being, and part.

		The third group is Madhva’s commentaries on the Bhagavata-purana, the Mahabharata and the Rg-veda.
		In fact Madhva describes five basic differences: the difference between the soul and God, the difference between matter and God, the difference between one soul and another, the difference between matter and the soul, and finally, the difference between one element of matter and another.
		Madhva’s tripartite classification of the soul is unique in Hindu theology, but one that he and his followers maintain can be substantiated from Vedic scripture.

	Ramanuja, Madhva, Nimbarka, Vallabha, Caitanya, Bhaskara and Yadavaprakasa -- Vaisnava philosophy by Dr. Subhash C. ...
		Madhva stands out for unqualified dualism and insists on the five great distinctions of God and the individual soul, God and matter, the individual soul and matter, one soul and another, and one part of matter and another.
		Madhva accepts the authoritativeness of the Vedas as a whole, and does not discriminate between the different parts of it.
		Madhva regards the distinction between Brahman and jiva real, and holds that it is wrong to think that the jiva and Brahman are non-different in release and different in samsara (world), since two different things cannot at any time become non-different or vice versa.

		Regarding the Samkara branch of Hinduism to be a facsimile of Buddhism, Madhva developed his own theology based on his interpretations of the Upanishads, the last section of the Veda, in which he stressed his pluralistic view of the separate realms of the world, the human soul, and Vishnu (God).

		According to the Sri Kurma inscriptions of Narahari Tirtha, his direct disciple, Sripad Madhvacarya was born between 1238 and lived for 79 years, until 1317 A.D. This is confirmed in the Anu- Madhva-Carita.

		I have to disagree that Madhva's philosophy is entirely different from that of the "rest of us".
		If one systematically goes through the vast philosophical literature of the orthodox systems, MAdhvas claim, one is sure to conclude that Madhva's system of qualitative dualism and quantitative pluralism is the grand culmination of all philosophical AND religious thought.

	Sri Madhva (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Madhva: (Sanskrit) South Indian Vaishnava saint (11971278) who expounded a purely dualistic (pluralistic) Vedanta in which there is an essential and eternal distinction between God, soul and world, and between all beings and things.
		Regarded by his followers as an incarnation of Vayu, said to have been born about 1200, his doctrine is known by its chief characteristic called Dvaita (duality), and stands in opposition to the system of Advaita (nonduality) of Sankaracharya, a follower of the Siva-form of philosophic thought.
		Although Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu claimed a link with the Madhva sampradaya, His line is distinguished as the Gausiya sampradaya (the sampradaya established in the land of Gausa).

		Moreover, Madhva would be situated among his contemporaries as a mere plagiarist, insofar as he follows outright the teachings of a foreign work.
		I was unable to identify this verse in the aforementioned Purana.
		If this were the case, then Madhva would have produced an absolutely new literary genre, which would have permitted him to present his novel teachings without letting them appear as lacking a traditional foundation at the same time.

		So Madhva then blessed them to have another son, he was born and then after taking his parents permission went off to the ashram of Acyutapreksa, his sannyasa-guru.

		I think Madhva is the most obvious candidate for a system that would be if not compatible, then at least similar in some respects to “mainstream” Christianity.
		God is perfect and is a personal God with a supernatural body—not all Christian sects consider God to possess a body, but Genesis states that God created people in his own image, which seems to suggest that he has a bodily form of some kind.
		Finally, distinctions are made in Madhva’s system between individual selves and individual material substances, and these distinctions generally seem to be accepted and taken for granted in much of “mainstream” Christian thought.

		Considering the fact that the Madhva sect have not explained the intricacies of rasa-tattva, it would have been futile for the gaudiyas to refer to Madhva-acarya’s commentary as their own.
		It was in vogue with the members of the Madhva sect that sannyasis converted from the Sankara school were allowed to retain their titles rather than change them to ‘Tirtha’.
		Sri Chaitanya Deva and the writers of His sect accepted Madhva's views from his various writings and the particular line through which they traced their own origin to the Madhva sect, and that particular line was somewhat different from the main line of Madhva at Udupi during the 16th Century.

		Which also implies that properties of the parts are not intrinsic entities — it’s something that can be understood only within the context of the larger whole.

		OBJECTION: In reference to Madhva’s being an incarnation of Vayu, there is no opportunity for exaggeration in the ‘Sumadhva Vijaya’ because the authentic history recorded in Madhva’s own lifetime has remained unchanged to this day.
