Madhwa Philosophy

Madhwa Philosophy, also known as Dvaita Vedanta, is a school of thought founded by Sri Madhva. It emphasizes a strict distinction between the individual soul (atman), God (Vishnu or Krishna), and the universe. Unlike other philosophies that see everything as one, Madhwa teaches that souls and the universe are independent and depend on God's grace for salvation. It promotes devotion (bhakti) as the path to realize this relationship, stressing that true knowledge and devotion lead to liberation, with God as the supreme and separate entity deserving unwavering reverence.
