THE WEB RESOURCE ON VEDANTA
BASED ON
THE DOCTRINE OF SRI MADHVACHARYA
Vedanta is the backbone for the welfare of the Mankind. It is that boat, riding which, one can easily cross the ocean called samsAra[1]. It encapsulates in itself the entire Vedic literature along with its tradition and practices. The Supreme God reveals this divine knowledge at beginning of every creation cycle. The brave and the intelligent who sacrifice everything to understand the absolute truth are blessed with this divine knowledge in the form of revelations during deep meditation. We are very fortunate that our ancestors had the courage and intellect to search for this absoulte truth. The thoughts, experiences and instructions of our ancient seers who have thus realized the absolute truth are available to us in the form of Vedas, Upanishads, Agamas, Ithihasas and Puranas.
All this literature is made available to us with a specific purpose - to provide an opportunity for the noble souls to realize the absolute truth. But it is not easy to get the true essence of this vast wearhouse of knowledge. There are many who have attempted but failed. They were confused and added more confusion to the problem instead of suggesting a solution. Luckily for us there is one particular tradition called the BhAgavatha sAmpradAya of the ancient Pancharatra Tradition, which has preserved the essence of the entire Vedic literature and makes it available to us in its purest form.
By the will of the supreme God, this tradition flourished and was widely spread for a long long time. Time and again, the supreme God, incarnated to save this tradition from being wiped out completely from the earth. During the dvapara yuga, He came to earth as Sage Krisha Dvaipayana a.k.a Veda Vyasa to protect and enliven this tradition. The tradition sprung back to life during his time. It continued unabated until the advent of the age of Kali, during which time it was pushed to a corner by evil forces prevailing at that time.
By the order of Krishna Dvaipayana himself, Sri MadhvAchArya a.k.a Sri Ananda Tirtha Bhagavatpadacharya (1238 – 1317 CE) revived this age-old Vedic tradition which was obscured before his appearance on this earth. The philosophy of MadhvAchArya, based on this Vedic tradition, became popular by the names Dvaita Vedanta or Tattvavada.
Here you will find extensive information on Vedanta based on the doctrine of Sri Madhvacharya.
