Haribol Ekanathji, _/\o_

 

Because the mayasadu.zip file doesn´t identify the author, I relied on the

Madhva´s biography file 8-postm.doc (in the file area) which says:

 

"Needless to say, for the great Acarya Vyasatirtha to write like this of his

disciple, Purandara dasa must have been quite an amazing devotee. He is

reputed to have written the Mayavada Satadusani or Muktavali, specifically

dealing with the Mayavadis based on the philosophy of Madhvacarya."

 

There is more - and all I know - about Purandara dasa in this file.

 

So what is the solution to this dilemma? Madhva or Purandara dasa?
