These basic tenets of Mayavada are beyond comprehension and do not have any convincing base in the Shastras. But I too do not know the right way, may you attempt to know it. For that knowledge, conciliate God.
At the age of eight, Vaasudeva was invested with the sacred thread by Madhyageha Bhatta with the commandment: ‘Living a virtuous life, serve the Fire and the Preceptor. Observing the vow of celibacy, study the Vedas well’.

The father asked his son “How did you tread this long distance all alone?” The son replied that he was not alone and he had been accompanied by Sri Vishnu. This incident further indicated the fact that Vaasudeva was a divine child born with the blessings of Sri Vishnu.
Sri Madhvacharya – also known by many other names – Poornaprajna, Ananda theertha, Dashapramathi, Poornabodha, Sarvajna theertha, Anumana theertha was born in a Tulu brahmana family residing at a village in Pajaka kshetra, eight miles to the southeast of the town Udupi. This kshetra was known for the temples of Sri Parashurama and Sri Durgadevi. His father was Madhyageha Bhatta and mother was Vedavathi. Madhyageha Bhatta was well versed in the Vedas and its related scriptures. He had great proficiency in the Ithihasas and Puranas too.
Sri Madhvacharya is the brightest luminary in the galaxy of Indian philosophy. He is the most scholarly philosopher the world has ever witnessed. He has been aptly referred to as Poornaprajna an account of his commendable knowledge of all the shastras, languages, sciences and arts. Sri Madhvacharya appeared on the Indian Philosophical scene after the systems of Shankaracharya and Ramanujacharya had been well established. Sri Madhvacharya was not content with the interpretations of his predecessors with reference to the Vedic texts and his dissatisfaction with those interpretations led him to formulate his philosophy which is popularly known as Tatvavada. Sri Madhvacharya particularly refuted the Mayavada propounded by Sri Shankaracharya which was the dominating philosophy of his time.
