Sadh Vaishnavism[note 1] (Sanskrit: सद्वैष्णवसम्प्रदाय), (popularly referred as Madhva Sampradaya, Madhva Vaishnavism and Brahma Sampradaya), is a denomination within the Vaishnavism—Bhagavata tradition of Hinduism.[2][3] Sadh Vaishnavism was founded by thirteenth century philosopher-saint Madhvacharya, who developed the Tattvavada (dvaita) ("arguments from a realist viewpoint") Vedanta sub-school of Hindu philosophy.[4]
The tradition traces its roots to the ancient Vedas and Pancharatra texts. The Madhva Sampradaya or Sadh Vaishnava Sampradaya is referred to as the Brahma Sampradaya, referring to its traditional origins in the succession of spiritual masters (gurus) have originated from Brahma.[5]
Madhva championed the ultimate reality as personal and Saguna Brahman ("the absolute with qualities") and it is Lord Vishnu (Narayana). Hence god Vishnu (Narayana) along with his consort Lakshmi, and their divine incarnations and forms are revered and worshipped in this tradition. In Sadh Vaishnavism, the creator is superior to the creation, and hence moksha comes only from the grace of Vishnu, but not from effort alone.[6] In Sadh Vaishnavism Jnana, Bhakti and Vairagya are necessary steps for moksha and doing Karma is also considered a form of puja. Hence in Sadh Vaishnavism, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Karma Yoga are equally important in order to attain liberation (moksha) compared to Sri Vaishnavism where bhakti yoga alone is enough to attain moksha. However Madhva holds the perspective that not all jivas are destined for liberation and rejects the idea of an inherent principle linking a jiva's existence with liberation. However, he acknowledges the presence of divine grace at work within chosen individuals.[7]
