All three of his later names are found in his works. The name conferred on him when he became the head of his monastery was "Ānanda Tīrtha". Pūrnaprajña was the name given to him at the time of his initiation into sannyasa (renunciation), as a teenager. Later he became famous by the names Purnaprajna, Anandatirtha and Madhvacarya (or just Madhva). Born in a Tulu speaking Vaishnavite Brahmin household, he was named Vāsudeva. Traditionally it is believed that Naddantillaya (Sanskrit: Madhyageha, Madhyamandira) was the name of his father and Vedavati was Madhvācārya's mother. Madhvācārya was born in Pajaka near Udupi, a coastal district in the present day Indian state of Karnataka. Many sources date him to 1238–1317 period, but some place him about the 1199–1278 period. The biography of Madhvacharya is unclear. Udupi, Sri Krishna Temple established by Madhvacharya Madhva's historical influence in Hinduism, state Kulandran and Kraemer, has been salutary, but not extensive. The Dvaita school founded by Madhva influenced Vaishnavism, the Bhakti movement in medieval India, and has been one of the three influential Vedānta philosophies, along with Advaita Vedanta and Vishishtadvaita Vedanta. Liberation, asserted Madhva, is achievable only through the grace of God. His school's theistic dualism teachings disagreed with the monist teachings of the other two most influential schools of Vedanta based on Advaita's nondualism and Vishishtadvaita's qualified nondualism. Madhvacharya's teachings are built on the premise that there is a fundamental difference between Atman (individual soul, self) and the Brahman (ultimate reality, God Vishnu), these are two different unchanging realities, with individual soul dependent on Brahman, never identical. Madhva established the Krishna Mutt at Udupi with a murti secured from Dwarka Gujarat in CE 1285. He toured India several times, visiting places such as Bengal, Varanasi, Dwarka, Goa and Kanyakumari, engaging in philosophical debates and visiting Hindu centres of learning. However, Dwaita was restricted to few states of India. Madhvacharya was a critic of Adi Shankara's Advaita Vedanta and Ramanuja's Vishishtadvaita Vedanta teachings. In some of his works, he proclaimed himself to be an avatar of Vayu, the son of god Vishnu. His greatest work is considered to be the Anuvyakhyana, a philosophical supplement to his bhasya on the Brahma Sutras composed with a poetic structure. His writing style was of extreme brevity and condensed expression. He commented on these, and is credited with thirty seven works in Sanskrit. Madhva studied the classics of Hindu philosophy, particularly the Principal Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras ( Prasthanatrayi). As a teenager, he became a Sanyasi (monk) joining Brahma-sampradaya guru Achyutapreksha, of the Ekadandi order.
Madhvacharya was born on the west coast of Karnataka state in 13th-century India. Madhva called his philosophy Tattvavāda meaning "arguments from a realist viewpoint". Madhvacharya ( Madhvācārya Sanskrit pronunciation: CE 1238–1317 ), sometimes anglicised as Madhva Acharya, and also known as Pūrna Prajña and Ānanda Tīrtha, was a Hindu philosopher and the chief proponent of the Dvaita (dualism) school of Vedanta.
