The Vaishnava tradition founded by Madhvacharya in the 13th century, teaching Dvaita (dualist) Vedanta, with its principal centre at Udupi.
Overview
Dvaita holds that God (Vishnu), individual souls and matter are eternally distinct, and that liberation comes through devotion and the grace of Vishnu.
History
Madhvacharya founded the Krishna temple at Udupi and the eight mathas (Ashta Mathas) whose heads take turns, in the Paryaya system, to administer the temple.
Practice
Study of Madhva's commentaries, worship of Krishna, and the Haridasa devotional song tradition of Karnataka.
