Sri Vyasaraja Math (Kannada: ವ್ಯಾಸರಾಜ ಮಠ) (formerly known as Poorvadi Math[1]) is one of the three premier Dvaita Vedanta monasteries (matha) descended from Jagadguru Śrī Madhvācārya through Jayatirtha and Rajendra Tirtha (a disciple of Vidyadhiraja Tirtha) and their disciples.[2][3]
Vyasaraja Math, along with Uttaradi Math and Raghavendra Math , are considered to be the three premier apostolic institutions of Dvaita Vedanta and are jointly referred as Mathatraya .[4][5][6] It is the pontiffs and pandits of the Mathatraya that have been the principle architects of post-Madhva Dvaita Vedanta through the centuries.[7] Among the mathas outside of Tulu Nadu region, after Uttaradi Matha, Vyasaraja Matha is the second largest matha.[8][9]
This selection of Kavindra as the successor of Vidyadhiraja, leaving Rajendra Tirtha resulted in the bifurcation of the Madhva Mathas, namely Vyasaraya Matha at Sosale headed by Rajendra Tirtha and Uttaradi Matha presided by Kavindra Tirtha.
Vidyādhirāja Tirtha ( the sixth Pontiff) or sixth successor of Uttarādi Matha) and founder of Vyāsarāya Matha), and appointed Rajendra Tirtha, as first Pontiff of this Vyāsaraya Matha
The Desastha or Kannada- Marathi Madhvas have a few mathas, of which the Uttaradimatha is the largest;
Vyasaraja Mutt (originally Rajendra Mutt or Poorvadi Mutt) has a distinction. It is that one of the Dwaita Triumvirate, Sree Vyasa Tirtha, adorned this line. Next to Uttaradi Mutt, this Mutt has the largest Madhwa following.
