I assume you mean THE Madhavacarya. In fact the line of succession that

ISKCON is in is often called the Madhva-Gaudiya sampradaya, so Madhva plays

a very important part in the development of the spiritual success of Krsna

consciousness over the centuries. I am not so well learned in the details,

if you write to katha (AT) pamho (DOT) net, you will find some of our followers can

give you more specific details about what part Madhva played in the history

of vaisnavism

 

Thank you for your enquiry

 

Best wishes

Hi,

 

Ananta Das has given me this address after I sent him a post with a few

questions on Madhvacarya.

I became very much impressed with Madhva philosophy after reading some articles

on the history of Vaishnavism, more specifically the fierce analythical

opposition to no-dualism. Is there a book or site at ISKCON where I can find

more Madhva related topics?

 

Haribol
