SUMMARY: Like the clouds come through air, the sky-like blue Vedavyasaru (in the form of a Saligrama called VyasamuShTi) came to Madhyavata through incarnation of Lord Vayu, Sri Madhwacharyaru. Just as the clouds provide succor from hot atmosphere, Sri Vedavyasaru provide succor from the hot family or worldly life. Therefore, pious people should visit this Mutt, where Sri Vedavyasaru resides.

Sri Madhwacharyaru used to stop at Naddanthadi. It is located at about 45 km from Mangalore on the Dharmasthala-Ujire road. It is very close to Moorje, near Ujire. Sri Madhwacharyaru consecrated a Vyasamushti Saligrama here. There is a Madhwa Mantap in this place.

SUMMARY: Like the cotton wick soaked in ghee or oil burning in an auspicious or divine lamp drives away the darkness and fills one’s mind with joy, Sri Vedavyasaru, who is at Sri MaDhyavATa Mutt and burning like the light soaked in the oil-like devotion of Sri Madhwacharyaru, drives away the darkness of lack of knowledge of the devotees as a token of the grace of Sri Vedavyasaru. Therefore, Oh pious devotees, please visit this Mutt and receive the blessings of Sri Vedavyasaru.

SUMMARY: Sri Vedavyasaru is an embodiment of Jnana or knowledge and bliss; he is the Lord or God of divine Knowledge; he surrenders to devotees; he is complete in terms of virtues. May this Lord transform me into a soul to renounce worldly pleasures, liberate me from family bondage and bless me with salvation.

It has been recorded that Sri Madhwacharyaru used to perform puja at Udupi and Subrahmanya every day for about sixteen years. Madhyavata is between Udupi and Subrahmanya. Here, he consecrated one of the Vyasamushtis he had brought from Badari and was worshipping it every day, without fail. Apart from a Madhwa Mantap, there is a Gautama Kunda and Gada Teertha in this place.
