Dvaita : A way of life

Hinduism has its roots dating back to the time, even before the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a way of life and, the madhva way of hinduism derives its roots from the dvaita philosophy propounded by Acharya Madhva also referred to by the names, Purnapragnacharya, Anandatirtha. The dvaita school of thought proposes five differences between Hari, the god and man. The whole Dvaita philosophy is based on the concept of hierarchy. There is hierarchy among gods as well, with Lord Narayana sitting at the top of the ladder, followed by Lakshmi, Brahma, Vayu, and Rudra. It is based on the pretext that Lord Narayana is the ultimate(Sarvottama) among all the beings, and that the world is a way for human beings to reach god by getting complete knowledge about the Sarvottama. Vayu, also referred to as MukhyaPrana is the ultimate among the living beings. Acharya Madhva, the propounder of Dvaita way, is believed to be one of the three important incarnations of Vayu, Hanuma and Bheema being the other two.
