The difference between Ramanuja and Madhva Siddantha
Inaugural speech by Shri Vishveshwara Swamiji of Pejavar Mutt:-
·
Devotion
to GOD.
·
Vyragya means self contentment. Be content with what GOD has given you.
·
One
should do his duty according to the path shown by GOD and follow His rules and
regulations.
·
The
knowledge of GOD should be perfect.
These
are the four pillars of life.
One should draw conclusions only from the shaasthras. The correct knowledge is like choosing the
correct food habit. Thathwa knowledge
releases one from the bandanas’ of life.
Shri
Nagasampige’s speech: -
The
following concepts are same in both the siddanthas.
1.
Hari
sarvothama
2.
Jagath
sathya.
3.
There
is a difference between jada and jeeva.
4.
From
devotion one can reach GOD. From sadhana
one can reach mukhti.

Madhwa Siddhantha |
Ramunaja Siddhantha |
|
1 |
GOD has Ananta kalyana
gunas |
God and His gunas
are different. They are not one and
the same. |
|
2 |
In Bhuthakasha and
Avyathyakasha, Avyathyakasha is permanent |
Both
are same. There is no difference
between them. |
|

Brahmanda is inside |
Brahmanda is outside |
|

GOD can be seen |
GOD cannot be seen |
|

Rajath and shruth
are different |
No difference between
Rajath and Shruth |
|
6 |
Varnathmaka shabda is
nitya |
Not nitya |
|
7 |
All cannot attain mukthi |
All can attain mukthi. |
|
8 |
Knowledge is important and
precedes Karma |
Knowledge and Karma is the
same |
|

Upadana loses its originality
and transforms itself into different substance. For example: Milk to curds;
Mud to Pots; Gold to different ornaments. Brahma is responsible for the
creation[H1] of the universe. |
This concept is not
accepted in Vishishta dvaita philosophy |
|
10 |
GOD and His Gunas
are one and the same. Eg: Sweetness in sugar, brightness in the sky, colour in clothes. |
GOD and His Gunas
are different |
|
11 |
GOD and Devathes
are different. This is well defined.
Only Devathes can attain that padavi. Only Rudra attain the padavi of Rudra. Only Rishis
can attain the padavi of Rishi.
There is difference in jeevas and according to their capacities
they attain different padavis. Example: results in the P.U.C. Based on the results, students go to
different courses. The capacities of
the Jeeva rashis cannot be found out. |
Anybody can become anything.
In the end, all jeevas are the same. In all jeevas, atom can be found. |
|
12 |
Only Rama Devi is nitya mukta |
There are many nitya
muktas
