Sri Madhvacarya – Appearance

Few of his teachings:
1) Krishna, who is known as Hari is the Supreme Lord, the Absolute.
2) That Supreme Lord may be known through the Vedas.
3) The material world is real.
4) The jivas, or souls, are different from the Supreme Lord.
5) The jivas are by nature servants of the Supreme Lord.
6) There are two categories of jivas: liberated and illusioned.
7) Liberation means attaining the lotus feet of Krishna, that is, entering into an eternal relationship of service to the Supreme Lord.
8) Pure devotional service is the cause of this relationship.
9) The truth may be known through direct perception, inference, and Vedic authority. These very principles were taught by Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.”

Perfect divine place . You will love the place specially evening time if you are joining the bhajan. Good Pure veg restaurant is available with reasonable price . Party hall is available for birthday and other celebrations. If you are travelling with own vehicle then it’s good but don’t depend on Ola or Uber after 8 PM it’s rare to get .
