1) SHREE MADHWA JAYANTHI

 

Special Pooja to Sriman Madhwa Chaaryaru

 

“He is the saint who installed the idol of Sri Krishna at Udipi in

Karnaataka. The philosophy he preached was previously known as Tatwawaada.

Now known as DWAITA- He lived seven hundred years ago. He boldly said to a

Muslim King: “ By whatever name you may call, God is one.” The Acharya’s

knowledge, scholarship and achievements made him a great savant”- Bannanje

Govindacharya.

 

“The supreme speciality and uniqueness of Sri Madhwachaarya and the Dwaitha

vedantha philosophy are so marvellous that it is impossible to say in few

words. Or even by a book.

After reading the two works of Sri Madhwacharya on Gita, one can be happy

and healthy in this world, in thought, culture and peace of mind. The

happiness, which is promised in Heaven, can be enjoyed here, if these two

unique works are read and understood as per one’s capacity. Sri Madhwacharya

is a great healer and helper of mankind. This aspect can be appreciated and

enjoyed by these commentaries under each and every verse- The uniqueness of

Sri Madhwacharys as Guru, Acharya, Preacher, Writer, Follower and Thinker,

is UNPARALLEL.”- Vidwan Mr T.S. Raghavendran

 

“Sri Madhwacharya by being a staunch, theist opposed atheism, worship of

plural Gods, and merging of Gods into one another very vehemently. He

expounded, based on the Vedas, the GOD is one. Since He is the father of the

universe and Chathurmukha Bramha. He is called " Jagatjanaka " ” He rules,

controls and destroys at the end. The very essence of Vedaantha is that He

is the cause for everything. As the greatest power He controls all Jeevas’

desire to live by being within them. By being in the inanimate He regulates

them as their Antharyaami. He pervades in Aprakritha form in every object

and propels it to perform its assigned activities. Without His order even a

blade of grass cannot move. So he is the sovereign of all He surveys.

 

According to Sri Madhwa, God is not a mass of Sath, Chit and Ananda, but

made up of qualities such as Janma, Itcha, Kriya. As potter He made this

world by making use of certain thing and so He is called Nimitha Kaarana.

Just as Jeeva is different from the body , God by being in this world is

different from the world. He is not the world nor the world is God. In

other words He is not Upadana KaaraNa. Mandukopanishad says, “ He is the

Ruler of all. He is omniscient. He is the inner controller of all. He is the

origin of all s he is the cause of the birth and destruction of all beings.”

Sri Bhagavad Geetha says (13-28: 18-61) that He is present in the soul of

every being and in everything that He has created in this Universe. He

pervades and makes them what they are, by being in every body. He hears,

sees, listens, thinks, speaks and by being in the heart of hearts, guides

and leads. He has no birth or death. His body is divine, imperishable and

not made up of the usual five elements such a body is Aprakritha. He is

light and bliss. He is MahaVishNu in this world. He is Sarvoththama. He is

personalized with countless auspicious qualities and a vault of Supreme

virtues. He is kind and derelict of defects. Human weakness like incapacity,

sorrow and attachment are not found in Him. He is capable of doing, undoing

and accomplishing even the most impossible,(Karthum, Akarthum and Anyadha

Kartham).

 

Sri Madhwa extolled Sri Vishnu’s Sarvothvamathwa and preached that He alone

sanctions Mukthi and its relation is through Jnana and Bhakthi. In the line

of Devathaas He is on the top of all. His qualities are infinite times

greater than those of the human and the Devathas. He is not bound by Karma.

He is the LORD of all our Karmas. Everything moves according to His will

though he is not the cause for HIM, He is the cause for all of us. He is the

creator, controller and destroyer of this creation. So Paramaathma is the

paramount power, regulating the Jeevas and Gods, transcending the power of

Prakrithi pervading the entire space, abiding in all things in Supernal

forms.

 

May this message of Sri Madhwacharya whose Jayanthi falls to-day, ,

permeate the entire humanity and drive them forward towards Divinity”.
