!! TODAY THE IS APPEARANCE DAY OF JAGADGURU MADHVACHARYA !! Acharya Madhva also populalrly known as Purnapragnya and Ananda Tirtha(1238-1317) was the founder Philosopher of Tattvavada, more popularly known as the Dvaita School of Vedanta. He is believed to be the third incarnation of Vayu who served Lord Rama as Hanumanta in his first incarnation and Supreme Lord Krishna as Bhima in his second incarnation. This belief is based on authentic and holy vedic references like the Baliththa Sukta, Vishnu sukta, and so on.Acharya Madhvas doctrine is based on concepts enshrined in the author less Vedas, Pancharatra, Puranas, Ramayana and Mahabharatha and is in tune with the decisive principles enunciated by Lord Vedavyasa in the Brahmasutras. Acharya Madhvas works include multiple commentaries on Brahmasutras, Shrimad Bhagavad Gita , Upanishads, Rig Veda and Bhagavata Mahapurana. He also composed hymns praising the glory of Lord Vishnu. His 37 works are collectively known as Sarvamulagramthas. He installed an icon of Lord Shree Krishna at Udupi, a coastal town in Karnataka, India. One of the most valuable gems bequeathed by Acharya Madhva to humanity is the fold of disciples that he left behind to propagate his teachings. This consisted of eight monks to perform the worship of Lord Krishna in Udupi and other monks like Shree Padmanabha Teertha to propagate the philosophy outside South Kanara District. One of the original disciples of Acharya Madhva was Shree Upendra Teertha. He was very dear to Acharya Madhva and served him with a lot of devotion. When the Acharya and his disciples were on their second pilgrimage to Badri, they were attacked by a band of robbers. Under the Acharyas inspiration and with his blessings, Shree Upendra Teertha fought with the robbers and single-handedly drove them away! Such was the power of the grace of Acharya on Shree Upendra Teertha. Acharya gave Shree Upendra Teertha an icon of Lord Panduranga Vittala. In 1532 Shree Vadiraja created the paryaaya system of rotation and changed the term to two years. Eight mathas known as Udupi Ashta Mathas were established in the vicinity of the Krishna MaTha. Each of the Mathas was given a period of 2 years to manage the Krishna Temple. The lineage following Shree Upendra Teertha is the one that we today know as Shree Puthige Matha and the main icon illuminating Shree Puthige Matha is the Lord Panduranga Vittala given by Acharya Madhva......... Later , The discplic succession of Madhva was accpeted by Shri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and He himself further moulded this into Achintya Bhedabhed tattwa.The pure devotional line of thought was sprouted from Madhavendra puripad and later His disciple iswara Puripad cultivated into a Plant of Pure of Bhakti which took a gigantic form of KRISHNA PREMA AMARA VRIKSHYA(An inexhaustible Tree of Love of KRISHNA) as Supreme Lord Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Himslef which is very illustaratively narrated by Shri Kaviraj Krishna Das Goswamipad in Shri chaitanya Charitamrita.... Jai Madhwacharya Thakur ki Jai! Udupi Shri Krishna ki Jai! Brahma Madhwa Gaudiya Sampradaya ki Jai!.. Hare Krishna....
