Madhva theology

Madhva theology, founded by the philosopher Madhvacharya in the 13th century, is a prominent school of thought in Hinduism known as Dvaita, or dualism. It emphasizes a clear distinction between the individual soul (Atman) and the supreme God (Brahman), asserting that they are fundamentally different. Madhva taught that devotion to God (particularly Krishna) is essential for liberation and that each soul is unique, with its own destiny. His theology also underscores the concept of grace, the importance of scripture, and that true knowledge leads to a realization of the divine's personal nature and attributes.
