Sri Madhva’s Teachings in His Own words

Śrī Madhva’s Teachings in His Own Words, authored by the renowned scholar B. N. K. Sharma and published in 1979 by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, stands as an authoritative and deeply insightful exposition of Dvaita (dualistic) Vedanta philosophy. By carefully selecting and directly translating core passages from Madhvacharya’s original works, Sharma makes complex philosophical doctrines—such as the fundamental distinction between the Supreme Being (Brahman), individual souls (jīvas), and the material world—exceptionally accessible to modern readers without sacrificing academic rigor. This particular volume, preserved from the collection of late Shri K. Ramakrishna of Puttur, Karnataka, highlights both the scholarly brilliance of its author and the enduring importance of Madhvacharya’s theological contributions to Indian philosophy.
