Madhwa Jayanthi

Today is an auspicious day to a community of Brahmins known as Madhwas. This community spread all over the world, considers Madhwachaaryaa, a saint who established 8 Mutts at Udipi with Shree Krishna as  the presiding Deity, as it's Guru. Madhwaacharyaa is considered to have been born on this day. He is considered to have been an incarnation of Bheema, one of the five Paandavaa brothers who lived in Dwaapara Yugaa and of Hanumaanjee, the greatest devotee of Lord Shree Raam, an incarnation of Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu. Hanumaanjee is revered and considered to be a chiranjeevi. Jai Shree Raam.
