Madhvacharya
Madhva Acharya (Sanskrit pronunciation: [məd̪ʱʋɑːˈtʃɑːrjə]; born Vasudeva 1238–1317 CE), also known as Purna Prajña and Ananda Tīrtha, was a Hindu philosopher and the chief proponent of the Dvaita school of Vedanta. Madhva himself called his philosophy as ""Tattvavada"" meaning realism.It is one of the three most influential Vedānta philosophies. Madhvācārya was one of the important philosophers during the Bhakti movement. He was a pioneer in many ways, going against standard conventions and norms. While in his teenage years he was initiated as a Sanyasin by Acyutapreksha, an ascetic of the Ekadandi order. Later he toured India several times engaging in philosophical debates and winning converts to his school of thought. Madhva composed thirty seven works in Sanskrit. His greatest is considered to be the Anu-vyakhyana, a critical exposition of the philosophy of the Brahma Sutras.Madhva established the Krishna temple at Udupi and entrusted the worship at the temple to eight ascetic disciples each of whom were first heads of the eight monasteries called Ashta Mathas of UdupiAccording to tradition, Madhvācārya is believed to be the third incarnation of Vāyu (Mukhyaprāna) after Hanuman and Bhīma and is believed to have disappeared from vision when he was seventy nine years of age.
