Teachings
Teachings of Shri Guru Madhvacharya
Reality is twofold: independent and dependent things. The Lord Vishnu is the only independent thing.[2]
Madhvācārya's teachings are built on the premise that there is a fundamental difference between Atman (individual soul, self) and the Brahman (ultimate reality, God Vishnu), these are two different unchanging realities, with individual soul dependent on Brahman, never identical.Template:SfnThe Dvaita school founded by Madhva influenced Vaishnavism, the Bhakti movement in medieval India, and has been one of the three influential Vedānta philosophies, along with Advaita Vedanta and Vishishtadvaita Vedanta.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn[3]
