It is great idea behind your efforts. May I congratulate on you. In addition to highlight the teachings of Acharya and his disciples, you can please educate the peethadhipatis, who never care about the welfare of our minority community. They have failed to stop inter caste marriages, instead they have blessed them. Most of us do not depend on them for a living. Can you please tell me one good reason why we need them now?

One more comment
I had very bitter experience with swamijis from my childhood. They discouraged me or rather insulted me. One incident. In 1979 March I went to Uttaradi Mutt. It was only a customary visit. But Vidvan D. Pahladacharya stooped me at the door as if I had gone there for food. Many instances like this. All Madhvas do not visit Mutt for food.

Dear Mr. Paddy, well, on such occassions we must recollect the treatment metted to our dear Shree Rayaru by jealous brahmins.

What followed it then, they paid a price for their misdeed.

It is easier said than done, it is very human to be annoyed, but again we have to practice making concious effort to recollect such incidents.

The insult faced by Draupadi, the troubles inflicted on our dear Prahalada, and many such countless examples described in Srimad Bhagawatham.

Lord Krishna Himself is accused of stealing Shamanthakamani.

Such acts should not seem new or surprising Mr. Paddy.

I hope i was able to ease your disappointment.

Thank you for your kind words. Many instances are there to mention or quote. What I mean to say is we are a minority community than any other. Still, we are divided badly on Mutt affiliations. I dont say this is bad, it the wish of people who trust or follow. But it is very annoying to know what is happening in some Mutts, like looting public money. Look at other communities. THey are politically powered. WE are very much behind in progress. No one takes this seriously. WE are crippled though we have some businessmen, ministers. powerful swamijis.... thats the tragedy of Madhwa Society. We are too good at pointing Tatvic differences with Advaita and other schools of thought.

I have a question about madwa philosophy
1) for madwas there are 5 bedas
*)jada-jada
*)jiva -jiva
*)jiva-iswara
*)jiswara-jada and jiva-jada
—————————————…
BUT TODAYS SCIENCE HAVE PROVED THAT THERE IS NO JADA-JADA BEDA…..i:e according to madhvaacharya ,gold can never become silver….but todays science have proved that by changing electronics configuration we can change gold to silver….WHICH ACCORDING TO MADHVAACHARYA IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!!!…because nothing,or jada loose their prakruthika guna according to madhvacharya,….
2)jiva-jiva beda:
accoring to dvaita each jiva is suguna and his prakrutika gunas are his own gunas.
BUT ACCORDING TO ME PRAKRUTHIKA GUNAS ARE NOT OF ATHMAS AND IS SUPER IMPOSED ON ATHMA,BY READING MY FOLLOWING COMMENTS U PEOPLE COME TO KNOW……..
1)me myself, i am human i see another human in kama,but if i become dog in next janma,i see dog with kama…..so prakruthika guna kama is not atmans guna
2) bhudhi:
now when we are human we have high level of bhudhi,but if i become dog in next janma we have bhudhi of the level of dog,so budhi is not atmas guna
if u go on thinking like that u will come to know that ,these gunas atman got from MAYA of jagath..and is not atmans guna ….so atman is nirgua and jagath is maya…………so madwaacharya’s jath is truth and 5 bedas are false…….
CAN YOU PEOPLE PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION?

ultimate knowledge is sacchidaanada. sacchidaananda is the personality(swarupa) of brahman….which means …..
sat(always present)….chit(consiousness)……anadnda(bliss) …..when you experience…..this ananda(bliss)…….that means your personality have become equal to sacchidaanada….in that state you have become sacchidaanada swarupi…..or in other words…..you have become sacchidaanada rupi brahman …..which is the ultimate knowledge….as vedas says…..
so….you yourself…..have become sacchidaanada….or YOU HAVE BECOME BRAHMAN ,which is ultimate knowledge….thats why vedas say…..prajgnam brahm….or brahman is knowledge…..and you are brahman…….(aham brahmamaasmi)……this is in breaf……the essence of jgnana yoga….
WHAT YOU SAY FOR THIS?
