TATTVAVAADA - An overview.....

We find a reference to the term Tattva in Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stothram (sloka # 103) where Lord Vishnu is eulogized as "Tattvam Tattvavid-Ekaatmaa…."

Tattvam ...

the one who is the Paramartha;

the real meaning of everything in this universe; 

the Supreme Brahma, Lord Vishnu;

who is Sathya (Real) the ultimate reality; 

that which is eternal ie, Lord SriManNaaraayana;

Tattvavid the one who knows His essence or true nature;

no one can describe Him precisely/comprehensively;

Ekaatma, the one and the only Aatman that existed in the beginning, the one Who is the solitary unique soul (Paramaatma) of outstanding excellence;

Tattva + Vaada = Tattvavaada

Tattva means the reality or truth or genuine principles or essence;

Vaada means, speaking about, debate, discourse, exposition,

In supreme spiritual sense Tattvavaada means, speaking about the doctrine (principles) of the supreme God Vishnu which is real, authentic and untainted;

Tattvavada is the Sanatana Dharma that has originated from Hamsanaama Paramaatma (Lord Vishnu) that was first taught to Chaturmukha Brahma percolated down to Brahma Maanasa Puthras (Sanaka-Sanandana-Sanatkumara-Sanatana) > Durvaasa etc.

^TatvaVaada^ aims to highlight the presence of three fold existence of intrinsic nature characteristically unique to all permanently dependent ‘jeeva’ that is – “muktiyogya, nityasamsaari and tamoyogya”, thereby vindicating the famed Theory of hierarchy gradation of souls.

Tattvavaada is the eternal philosophy/doctrine of Lord Vishnu that was re-established by Sri Madhvacharya which is also known as Dvaita Siddhanta.

As Hanuma-Bheema-Madhva He is the one who bestows upon the knowledge/jnaana of the Supreme Tattva ie "Hari Sarvottama"

My salutations to that school of thought (Tattvavaada) which defeats all doctrines born out of ignorance and negative tendencies, Anandatheertha the revered among saints who proclaimed the Supremacy of Lord SriHari-Hari Sarvottama;

> Tattvavaada is the ultimate spiritual knowledge...

Understanding Vishnu (Hari) Sarvottamatva is of paramount importance since it is the first and the most important tenet which Sri Madhvacharya an incarnation of Lord Vaayu has emphatically re-established in his Siddhantha (philosophy) Madhva/Dvaita/Tattvavaada.

Through Sarvamoola Granthas, Sri Madhvacharya has unequivocally and authentically established/advocated the philosophy Dvaita/Tattvavaada the ultimate truth of Vedanta "Hari Sarvottama" the Supremacy of Lord Vishnu.

Tattvavaada is Yathartha Jnaana...
