Abstract

Mādhva's thought had a strong influence on Vaiṣṇava philosophy. Madhva enforces the Dvaita system that has significantly contributed to the study of Vedanta. The Aṇubhāṣya is his short treatise reflecting his interpretation of the Brahma Sūtra explaining his position of thought. In his primary doctrine of Divinity philosophy, he affirms the status of Brahman (the impersonal absolute), and the ātman (individual self) is dvaita (dual), and according to him that this is the position found in the Vedas. Direct examination of the written texts provides a holistic understanding of how Mādhva thought of Brahman ontology and reveals the mystical veil that he received direct guidance from Vyāsa, the author of the Brahma Sūtra and Vedas. This paper also provides an overview of Mādhva's philosophical and theological position of thought.
