Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 > My question is, are the writings of Madhva a valid source for a KC > devotee? Yes. A nine point summary of Madhvacarya's philosophy is: 1. Lord Visnu, the Personality of Godhead, is the Absolute Truth, and nothing is higher than Him. 2. He is known by the study of Vedas....sarvasya caham.......(Bg 15.15) 3. The material world is real, but temporary. 4. The jivas (living entities) are different from the Lord (bimba prati bimba..........). 5. The jivas are, by nature, servants of Lord Visnu's lotus feet. 6. In both the conditioned and liberated states, the jivas are situated in higher and lower statuses and always remain individuals in their identity. 7. Liberation does not mean an impersonal merging, but the attainment of serving Lord Visnu's lotus feet. 8. Pure devotional service rendered to guru and Visnu automatically grants liberation, release from material bondage. 9. Direct perception, logic and Vedic authority are three sources of actual knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
