Shri Narahari Teertharu was the third in the line of Shri Madhwacharya and great scholar in Giirvana Bhasha. With his scholarly knowledge he preached and publicised Bhagavatha Dharma not only through the vedic knowledge and also through Hari Kiirthanas which he composed. This has great impact on the society at that time for social change. Shri Narahari Teertharu was not only a great saint and also royal pontiff.

Shri Narahari Teertharu was presumably from Andhra or Orissa. There is no reliable information about his early life and career. A short praise of 13 Sragdharas called Narahariyatistotra professes to give full details of his life. But this is legendary and late in date and hence unreliable for histocial purposes. Tradition has been persistent, however that he was, for sometime Minister in Kalinga. The Narahariyatistotra and some other works also allude to his ministry which is said to have lasted tweleve years. The fact of ministry is confirmed by the evidence of inscriptions from Shrikurmam and Simhacalam temples.

The Narahariyatistotra makes out that he went to Kalinga at the orders of his Guru, AnandaTeertharu, to procure the idols of Mularama and Sita (which had a legendary history behind them and) which happened then to be in the state treasury of Kalinga. An opportunity presented itself when the Kalinga King died. His ministers, in time honoured fashion, sent out the state-elephant to pick up and bring them a proper regent. By some stroke of luck, the choice of the elephant fell on Narahari and he was placed on the throne. After 12 years when the Prince came of age, he relinquished his office. The King, in gratitude, bade him choose any presents he would like and the monk asked for the idols, for which he had come there and got them. These he presented to Madhva.

The Matsya rules of Oddavadi became independent of the Gangas and were converted to Vaisnavism by Narahari Teertharu. Arjuna became Narasimha Vardhana, Annamaraja Gopalavardhana and Munjaditya Shrirangavardhana. Shri Narahari Teertharu was also responsible for the conversion of many princely and aristocratic families of Kalinga and Andhra regions to Madhva fold. The descedents of these families still flourish in the coastal Andhra and adjoining states.

Overview of his Literature
The earliest Dasa of whom we have definite information is Shri Narahari Teertharu. He has already been mentioned as one of the direct disciples of Madhva. Madhva himself is believed by some to have left a few songs in Kannada. This is however, doubtful; though there is no doubt that he set the ball rolling by his stirring pieces of devotional lyrics such as the Dvadasa-stotra and other compositions.


Coming to Shri Narahari Teertharus compositions only three songs of his has been discovered so far. They are 'yanthu marulade nanenthu' meaning How deluded have I become how deluded.... Seond one is 'hariye idu sariye..' meaning Hari is this proper and 'tiliko ninnologe neene..' meaning knowing within thyself. His ankita is "Narahari" or "Narahari Raghupathi". Assuming that Narahari was fairly well-acquainted with Kannada to be able to compose songs in that language, even though it was not his mother-tongue (as he was either an Andhra or a native of Oriya) we have still to fill the gap of over a hundred years between him and the next famous figure in the history of the Dasa Koota : Shripadraja. Perhaps, the reference to Shri Narahari Teertharu in the Shrikurmam inscription may lend weight to the supposition that he was specially connected with the rise of some kind of great devotional movement. Internal evidence of the songs of the Dasas would however seem to give the credit of pioneering the Dasa Movement to Shripadaraja. The problem has therefore to be left an open question for the present.

Shri Akshobhya Teertha is one of the famous saints who took sanyasa directly from Shri Madhvacharya. His name before he became the disciple of Sri Madhvacharya was Govinda Shastri. He is supposed to belong to the northern karnataka region. With the tours of Shri Madhvacharya, the fame of Shri Madhvacharya spread to all corners of the country. Sri Govinda Shastri listened about the erudition, works and the disciples of Shri Madhvacharya and went to Udupi. He was a follower of a non-Vaishnava ('advaitin') line before meeting and surrendering to Shri Madhvacharya.

Shri Akshobhya Teertharu was born in 1159 Sakabja era (1238 AD) and was the last of Madhva's direct disciples to sit on the Vedanta Pitha. He did so from 1350 AD -1365 AD. After initiating Akshobhya Teertharu into sanyasa Shri Madhvacharya gave him the Deity of Aja-Vithal. (Krsna standing with His hands on His hips, accompanied by Shri Devi and Bhudevi, though some say this is Krsna with Rukmini and Satyabhama).

Shri Akshobhya Teertharu who initiated Shri Jaya Teertharu (author of Shriman Nyaya Sudha) was a contemporary of the great 'advaitin' Shri Vidyaranya and also of a celebrated 'Visistha-advaitin' scholar Shri Vedanta Desika.

In the year 1336 AD., Shri Akshobhya Teertharu had a scholarly debate with Shri Vidyaranya on the interpretation of the scriptural passage "Tatvam-asi". Extensive and elaborate arguments were exchanged in the presence of Shri Vedantha Deshika who was chosen by both as an arbitrator. Another tradition says that all the arguments were literally written down and then sent to Shri Vedantha Deshika whose verdict was in favour of Shri Akshobhya Teertharu. The epigraphic evidence of this historic victory is on a commemorative pillar of victory on a hill near Mulabagilu that can be seen even today.

Shripad Akshobhya Teertharu moved after this a little north to Pandharapur on the banks of the Bhima-rathi River, which is where he met his future disciple Jaya Teertharu. In the years to follow Akshobhya Teertharu dedicated most of his time training Jaya Teertharu in 'Dwaita' philosophy. The relationship was so nice that Shripad Akshobhya Teertharu gave his every breath to make Shripad Jaya Teertharu the most proficient and dynamic preacher since Madhva, hence Jaya Teertharu was called the second moon of Madhwa and Tikacharya, for his many small commentaries. Shripad Akshobhya Teertharu taught him how to search out hidden significance's in the words of Madhwa which others missed.

Sri Akshobhya Teertha Moola Vrindavana, Malkhed.
