He was born near Udupi on Vijayadasamiday in the year 1238 A.D. He took to Sanyasa in his 16 th year and became known as 'Ananda Teertha'. Sri Acharya disappeared, while teaching Aitereya Upanishad Bashya to his disciples, in Ananteswara Temple at Udupi in the year 1317 A.D., He is still alive in the Badrikashram on the Hi,ayas with his Guru Sri Vedavyasa Devaru. The full Biographical details of Sri Madhvacharya are told in "Sri Madhva Vijaya".
The first Avatar of Sri Vayu is Hanuman son of Anjana Devi. His wonderful feats and service to Rama Devaru are described in RAMAYANA.
The second Avatar is Sri Bhimasena, in Dwapara Yuga, Sri Vayu Deva appeared as Bhimasena and played the most important part in the destruction of the enemies of God. In the whole of Mahabharata, Bhimasena is the most important person who never slipped from the path of righteousness and served Sri Krishna.
Thus, he served God as Hanuma in Ramayana, as Bhima in Krishnavatara and as MAdhva, served Lord Vedavyasa Devaru. He is the greatest spiritual benefactor of MAnkind. This isshort, is the story of Avtara Traya.
The Philosophy of Sri Madhwa is simple, easy and very convincing vedanta, called "DVAITA VEDANTA".
To Sri Madhwa, Vishnu is supreme. Vishnu or Lord Sri Hari can be known only through Vedas.
Madhwa philosophy is summerised in the following sloka, attributed to Sri Vyasa Tirtha :-
1 . Harih para tarah - Hari is the Supreme Being.
2 . Satyam Jagat - The world is Real, not Mithya or illusion.
3 . Tatvato Bhedah - Difference is Real.
4 . Jeeva Gana Hare ranu charah - All the Jivas are Hari's Servants.
5 . Neecho cha bhavam gatah - with gradation among them.
6. Muktirnaija sukhanubhutih - Mukti is the enjoyment of (the soul's)innate bliss.
7. Amala Bhaktischa tat Sadhanam - pure bhakti is the means of attaining mukti.
8. Akshadi Tritayam pramanam - there are three sources to gain. knowledge namely :-
a. Knowing things through "Eyes and other Indriya Prathyaksha",
b. knowing by inference, "Anumana" , and
c. By Shastras 'Agama". Tru Knowledge of the world can be gained by the above three means. It is "Tritayam".
9. Akhilamnaiyaika Vedyo Harih -Lord Sri Hari can be known by Amna (or, Veda) only. This sloka contains in a nutshell, the essence Dwaita Philosophy.
Sri Madhwacharya has written as many as thirty seven works which are monumental.
Decline with regrets on several grounds. First, it's very WP:NPOV. An article like this should be bare-bones and dry, without any hint of opinion or religious overtones. Second, it really should be combined with an article on its founder, if there is a single founder. Third, it doesn't have enough context for people not familiar with the subject matter. The English Wikipedia is primarily a Western-culture work and Eastern religious practices and beliefs should be explained in terms Westerners understand. Finally, it is without references. Any article should have 3rd-party, non-biased references if at all possible. It MUST have at least 1 reference to even be considered. Please rewrite and resubmit. See Buddhism or Hinduism for examples you might want to follow. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:29, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
