MADHWACHARYA

Thus the Acharya’s whole life was devoted to singing the praise of God. He faced his problems, opposition and difficulties boldly. As a young boy, he had crushed with his foot a poisonous snake which came to bite him. The Acharya knew no fear. He never bowed to anybody and always held his head high. He was clear about his life-mission and how to achieve it. He lived the life of a dynamic ‘sannyasi’ and had a reassuring effect on all who came to him.

After leading full, fruitful life till he was 79, on the ninth day of the first fortnight of Magha in the year Pingala (1317 A.D), Acharya Madhwa took leave of his disciples and left for Badari. None saw him afterwards. This day is observed as 'Madhwa-navami when people pay homage to the great Acharya.
