Dvaita

Madhvacharya's school maintains five fundamental eternal differences: between God and souls, between God and matter, between souls, between souls and matter, and between different material objects.

Key Ideas

• 1Vishnu is the supreme, independent reality
• 2Souls are eternally distinct from God and each other
• 3Liberation is eternal service to God, not merger
• 4Grace is essential; hierarchy exists among liberated souls

Those who find meaning in service, seekers who prefer clear distinctions, and devotees drawn to the grandeur of the Divine.

Cultivate a service-oriented devotional practice, study Madhva's commentaries, and practice visualization of divine forms.
