Dvaita Vedanta has derived its doctrines from Vedas/Upanishads, Pancharatra, Ithihasa, Puranas… Sri Vyasarajaru (an eminent Madhva Saint/Philosopher and an incarnation of Bhakta Prahlada) has summarized the essence of Tattvavada propounded by Sri Aananda TheerthaRu in a single verse called Prameya Navaratnas the basic tenets of Madhva philosophy. श्रीमन्मध्वमते हरिः परतरः सत्यं जगत् तत्वतो । भेदो जीवगणा हरेरनुचराः नीचोच्चभावं गताः । मुक्तिर्नैजसुखानुभूतिर...

Notions considered as hatred (DwesHa) of Lord Vishnu the Hari Sarvottama

Image
  Never-ever do dosha chintana, samsaya of Lord Vishnu, his qualities/attributes, symbolism, avatharas, capacity, merits, leela, sarvottamatva/supremacy; Such devotion only which is devoid of all these is declared as real devotion. Avoid hatred against the Supreme God Vishnu to avoid suffering in life; complete misery resulting from such hatred stays eternally; Hari Sarvottama - Vaayu Jeevottama Sri GuruRaajo Vijayate

Taaratamya - The eternal distinction.....

Hari Sarvottama - Vaayu Jeevottama..... Literally Taratamya means distinction; gradation; difference; proportion; hierarchy etc. In the context of Tattvavaada the concept of Taratamya or hierarchy or distinction among Gods (Devata Taratamya) is an integral part of Dvaita Siddhantha. This distinction between Jeevaatma and Paramaatama has been explained very well in Madhwa philosophy and great significance is attached to this concept. Basically it is a gradation theory which exists very naturally in this world. It is an organizational structure at Macro level where Lord SriManNaaraayana the Supreme God Vishnu is at the highest level (Hari Sarvottama) as President of this Universe.

Taratamya or gradation among souls which is intrinsic is one of the most important tenets propounded by Sri Madhvacharya. Wh...
