Introduction

The philosophies of Madhva and Aurobindo are identical in all respects , the differences is there only in form and not in essence.It is Madhva's philosophy presented in the language of Yoga and occult and modern evolution.It is the kshatriya interpretation of Madhvas philosphy and also its most brilliant presentation of Ideas and Concepts of Madhva.

The Madhvas philosphy has both brahminical and kshatriya aspects to it , but the SI Brahmins have
generally laid stress on the brahminical aspect , Mokhsa , acquistion of vedic knowledge and ascetism and morality , almost completely ignoring , especially in modern times the kshatriya
aspect which enabled the Vijayanagar Empire to come into existence.

Aurobindo came to establish the kshatriya aspect of Madhvas philosphy.

Madhvas philosphy can be used to establish an ideal wordly society as well as for Moksha purposes.The Kannada brahmins have chosen to concentrate primarily on Moksha completely ignoring worldy welfare.


We regularly see symposiums on "Advaita and Management" , "Advaita and Politics" and such other things , yet we rarely come across a single book , paper or essay on the relevance of tattvavada to worldly life.Even Iyengars have written many books of how VA will help in bringing about unity among the hindus and erasing all the evils of the hindu society , but we rarely see any such effort on the part of the Madhvas.They are simply not concerned about this world at all.

Actually tattvavada can be used to enhance national security and economics , politics and education , yet we hardly see anywhere the T perspective on all these things.

Aurobindo came to establish tattvavaada for worldy benefit.

In the coming weeks , we shall try to explore some of the similarities in both the philosophies and see how they benefit the world.

(The above analysis is wrong. But it remains as a record of the course of my thoughts)
