Madhava Navami is being celebrated to remember Guru Lord Madhavacharya. Madhavacharya was the first to spread the Dwaitha philosophy which is considered as Philosophy of reality.
Lord Madhavarcharya is considered as an incarnation of Lord Anjeneyar.
Vayu deva -> Lord Anjeneyar - > King Bheema -> Guru Madhavacharya.
Guru Madhavacharyar's birth name is Vasudeva. It is believed that he lived in this earth for 79 years and reached to Lord Narayana's feet directly. His period is considered between 1238 to 1317.
Guru Madhavacharyar installed Lord Krishna in Udupi based on the sandlewood that he got while saving a ship which was troubled in the sea close to Udupi due to bad weather.
Guru Madhavacharyar written several scriptures and they are called as "Sarvamoola Granthas", these scriptures are written by his disciples during the dictation of Guru. The life history of Guru Madhavarcharya has been captured in "Madhava Vijaya" which has 16 chapters.
There is also a saying that when "Raghavendra Vijaya" was authored to capture the life history of Guru Raghavendra Swamy, Guru did not included few chapters and wanted to limit the chapters less then 16 so not to exceed "Madhava Vijaya"
Guru Madhavacharyar started the Guru Parampara who followed Dwaitha philosophy and two famous diciples were Narahari Teerthar and Padmanaba Teerthar. Narahari Teerthar was the one who brought Moola Rama from the king for poojas which is still followed in our Mantralayam.
Madhavacharyar has a very strong body and good physical strength even to this day, the huge rock-boulder lifted up and placed in the river Bhadra by the Acharya to help villagers is still available and witness the strength of Madhavarcharyar, near Kalasa bears witness to his strength. This incident is confirmed by the sentence inscribed on that stone.
Guru Madhavacharyar won several debates and faced several oppositions while spreading the Dwaitha philosophy. Guru has travelled length and breadth of the country to spread the Dwaitha philosophy.
During the travel, when Guru reached Kurushetra, he showed the burried mace of Kind Bhima (previous incarnation) to his diciples and burried it again the land.
No one knew how Guru Madhavacharyar attained Lord Narayanan's feet, however he told his diciples that he will leave alone from Udipi to Badri and the day he left Udipi is celebrated as "Madhava Navami".
This year Madhava Navami falls on 19-Feb-2013, is celebrated in Mantralayam
