Pontiffs of all ten monastic institutions of the Madhwa tradition were present attesting to the continuing strength of one of Hinduism's largest schools of theology, the dualistic theism of the Vaishnava saint, Sri Madhwacharya.
This Madhwa meeting owed its birth to the commitment of the Head of Sri Pejawar Math, His Holiness Sri Viswesha Theertha Swami, a frail, benign human dynamo, remembered for his struggle to reclaim Hindus converted to Islam in Meenakshi Puram in Tamil Nadu 15 years ago.

It is Madhwa's philosophy presented in the language of Yoga and occult and modern evolution.
The Madhwas philosphy has both brahminical and kshatriya aspects to it, but the SI Brahmins have generally laid stress on the brahminical aspect, Mokhsa, acquistion of vedic knowledge and ascetism and morality, almost completely ignoring, especially in modern times the kshatriya aspect which enabled the Vijayanagar Empire to come into existence.
In fact Madhwa in his commentary on the Isha Upanishad mantra says that one must know god as both the creator and destroyer and knowing him only as the creator is sinful.
