Khara Naama Samvatsara Panchanga: Uttaradi Math,

Philosophy

The following are some of the main tenets of the philosophy of Sri Madhvacharya:

* There is only one God for the entire universe

* He is the supreme power above everyone.

* He can be rightly known only through the Vedas and ancillary scriptures called the sadAagamAs

* In the utmost sense all names point to Him. Brahman, Vishnu, Narayana etc are some of his important names.

* Knowing God and attaining his grace is the primary goal of mankind.

* God’s grace can be achieved through Knowledge, Bhakti and Vairagya.

* God removes the bondage (ignorance) and grants liberation to eligible souls.

* The world, which is created by God, is real; The world consists of basically three types of entities - Isa - God, Jiva-Souls and Jada-Matter.

* The Souls are the servants of the God and remain so even after attaining liberation.

* There exists pancha bheda (five fold difference) between Isa, jIva and jaDa.

* There is a gradual gradation among different souls called Taratamya.

* Liberation is the state of experiencing eternal bliss according to one’s own nature after the material bondage is removed.
