Shri Madhwacharya – I
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.
