Jagadguru śrī madhvacharya, also known as śrī ānanda tīrtha and śrī pūrṇaprajña, was a prominent vedāntin, philosopher and theologian who lived in bhārata during the 13th century. He is considered one of the greatest exponents of tattvavāda, a realist-theist-synthesist school of vaidika hindu philosophy that emphasizes the eternal ontological dependence of the jīva-s (~ individual soul) on the Brahman (~ supreme being).
