    Namaskaragalu,

    Your blog has always interested me. The contents are very good. I have heard that Sri Vadiraja Swamy in his Yukti Mallika has said that ‘the three Acharyas (or the three systems Dvaita, Advaita and Vishishtadvaita) are together in their effort to do the ‘manthana’ of the Vedas. The three are like brothers, the three are like the Trimurtis.

    My description may not be accurate. But could you please take out the particular verse/verses in that grantha and let me know? If there is any teeka for those verses, even that I am interested in reading. In case the teeka is very long, pl. give just the shlokas. Thanks.

    With warm regards,

      Namaskara Sri Subramanian,

      I do not have a copy of Yukti Mallika with me, nor have I read it. I hope other readers of this blog would be able to help answer your query. Your query has certainly increased my curiosity and I am going to go looking out for that great work asap.

      Thanks, Hari

    As far i know, what was previously known as Kumbhasi Matha with its headquarters in kumbakonam, is today Sri Raghavendra Swamy matha i.e Sri Vibhudendra tirthara samsthana…

    Sode Matha is Sri Vishnu tirthara samsthana…

    Namaste Hari,

    Thanks for your reply. Could you pl. try looking for this work ‘yukti mallika’ in the Digital Library of India resource? My searching capabilities are poor. Perhaps if you are able to open and read the book from this resource, locating the verse may not be difficult.

    Regards,

      hi poornima
      & namaskara to hari
      first of all i would like to appreciate brother Hari for his great work.. hats upto u Hari!!!
      and poornima i`ve seen this vaikunta varnane summary in Aug-09 edition, but i cant remember whether i ve seen in Tatva-vaada / Suguna-mala / Guru-sarvabhouma… i shall confirm you on tuesady… but if you read an origianl Vaikunta Varnane book written by “Vadirajaru”, you`ll not understand anything unless you are a scholar / sanskrit punter…

    Namaskara

    Dr.Gururaj Acharya Nippani, is a great scholar from and an authority on the life and works of Sri Sri Vadiraja Swamiji.
    Dr. Nippani is well versed with Yukti Mallika and i should tell you that he has a Ph.D in sanskrit from Karnataka University Dharwad and his Topic of research was YUKTI MALLIKA.
    He would be the right person to answer all queries regarding Yukti Mallika and Madhwa Pholosophy in general.
    Please provide all queries reg Yukti Mallika i will get in touch with him.

    If you happen to know the first sloka (mangalAcharana) of Yukthi Mallika, please post it. I heard it in a pravachana by Prabhanjanacharya and it was exhilarating. If you know the word-by-word meaning, then it would be great as well.
