Preamble for Sri Madhvacharya’s incarnation…

In one of His best treatises "Pratahsankalpa Gadhya" Sri Raghavendra Swamy has made a beautiful and crispy description of Sri VaAyu Devaru the MUkhyaPrana, His attributes (Lakshanas); reasons behind (preamble) His incarnation in Kaliyuga as Sri Madhvacharya, His capabilities, His activities apart from description of the glory/attributes of the Supreme God, Hari sArvottama, Vishnu. Through this work, Sri GuruRaayaru has laid out the basic tenets of Madhva Philosophy and significance of MukhyaPraAna the Vaayu Jeevottama. The sloka goes like this…

आज्ञ ज्ञानार्थि ज्ञानयोग्य

भगवत्कृपापात्रभूत सल्लोलोककृपालु ब्रह्मरुद्राद्यर्थित

भगवदाज्ञां शिरसि परमादरेण अनर्घ्यशिरोरत्नवन्निधाय

तथाशेष देवताप्रार्थनानां हारवद्द्ह्रुधि निधाय

सर्वस्वकीयसज्जनानुग्रहेच्छया कर्मभुव्यवतीर्णानां

तथावतीर्य सकलसच्चास्त्रकर्तृणां सकलदुर्मतभंजकानां

अनादितः सत्संप्रदायपरंपराप्राप्त

श्रीमद्वैष्णवसिद्धांतप्रतिष्ठापकानां...

This phrase sets up the foundation for the reasons behind the incarnation of Vaayu Deva as Sri Madhvacharya on the earth. Many years ago, due to passage of time, true knowledge of the scriptures was lost. Pious people desirous of learning the scriptures were not able to receive proper guidance.

This prompted the Deities such as Brahma, Rudra etc. to pray Lord Vishnu on behalf of the people thirsty for true knowledge. Bhagawan Vishnu directed Mukhyapraana Sri Vayu Devaru to adorn the role of a human being on earth with the principal purpose of spreading the true meaning of the scriptures.

Sri Vayu Devaru with utmost humility wore the Lord’s wishes as one would wear an ornament on the head and incarnated as Sri Madhvacharya and established the dualist school of philsophy Dvaita-Tattvavaada on a firm foundation. This fact is also described in Sri SuMadhva Vijaya, chapter 2, verse 1-4.
