Vyasaraja Math

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Vyasaraja Math (Sosale))

Sri Vyasaraja Math (Kannada: ವ್ಯಾಸರಾಜ ಮಠ) (formerly known as Poorvadi Math[1]) is one of the three premier Dvaita Vedanta monasteries (matha) descended from Jagadguru Śrī Madhvācārya through Jayatirtha and Rajendra Tirtha (a disciple of Vidyadhiraja Tirtha) and their disciples.[2][3]

Vyasaraja Math, along with Uttaradi Math and Raghavendra Math, are considered to be the three premier apostolic institutions of Dvaita Vedanta and are jointly referred as Mathatraya .[4][5][6] It is the pontiffs and pandits of the Mathatraya that have been the principle architects of post-Madhva Dvaita Vedanta through the centuries.[7] Among the mathas outside of Tulu Nadu region, among Madhwa mutts Vyasaraja Matha is the largest matha.
