RE: Srimadacharya - showing two fingers

[Guest guest]

I have heard before that the popular picture of Acharya Madhva's depicts him as though he is ignoring or giving a snobbish look. The lakshanas as described in his biography, that of a handsome sculpted body, grace and mannerisms are all missing. The other point Sri Bannanje mentions is that Acharya's picture should not have him adorn the angara, and instead Gopi chandana should be on his forehead. The 'angara' was instituted later on (probably Sri Vadiraja thirtha) to distinguish a Madhva from another school. The real tilaka should be Gopi chandana as it is per Vedas.Thanks,Raghu.srinivasa_achar; sumadhwaseva; madhwayuvaparishat ; ; it_madhva_sangha ; jignaasa From: krish_pDate: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:18:19 +0000RE: Re: [sUMADHWASEVA] Srimadacharya - showing two fingersNamaskaragalu. I agree to Shri Vaidya Acharya's inputs and his art. No doubt Shri Adamar Swamiji showered his praises. One should listen to Shri Bannanje Acharya's "Acharya Madhwa" lecture (http://www.kannadaaudio.com/Songs/Discourses/home/Acharya-Madhwa.php) to understand the meaning behind the posture that Shri Vadirajaru depicted. Its also picturized in the song "praNatavAn prANinAm prANabhUtam" which Shri Bannanje Acharya recites at the beginning of his lectures. Art by itself has no significance unless its supported by Apta vAkya and artists should approach learned scholars who would provide insight into how j~jAni's have depicted Shri Acharya Madhwa.
