Background
Where the teaching comes from, and why we are building this.
Śrī Madhvācārya, born in the thirteenth century at Pājaka near Uḍupi, taught Tattvavāda, the school of Vedānta widely known as Dvaita. His works are collectively called the Sarvamūla Granthas, and generations of Ācāryas have explained them through ṭīkās and ṭippaṇīs.
Earlier efforts have digitised many of these granthas and kept them safe for the centuries ahead. But the scans are hard to search, translations into Kannada, English, Telugu and Tamil are limited, and a great deal of teaching sits in separate collections and in recordings of pāṭhas and pravachanas that no one can easily look through.
MadhvaGPT began as an effort to bring that knowledge back within reach of vidwāṁsaru and bhaktādis alike: ask a question in ordinary words, in your own language, and be pointed to what the texts and the teachers say.
Our vision
To make the teachings of Madhva Siddhānta more accessible to future generations through technology, in a system built to outlast all of us.
Goals
- Stay faithful to the sourcesAnswers come from governed, authentic Mādhva texts whose provenance has been established, not from the open internet.
- Checked by more than one scholarTranslations and explanations are reviewed on a maker-checker basis, so no single reading stands unverified.
- One roof for every maṭhaTeachings from across all Mādhva maṭhas, brought together without bheda or preference.
- Reach a wider communitySearch, translation and transliteration across Indian languages and English, free to use from any part of the world.
Product evolution and roadmap
MadhvaGPT is released in stages. Each stage opens only when the one before it has been tested with real users.
MadhvaGPT 1.0
The first version, built on ChatGPT, which showed that a question-and-answer tool for Madhva Siddhānta was worth building.
2.0 beta testing
Beta testers tried the new version extensively. Results were very promising for beginner and intermediate users. For advanced and scholar-level users the system still needs refinement. Corrections from testers went back into the knowledge base, including Sri Kesava Rao Tadapatri’s article on Jīva Kartṛtva.
Limited release of 2.0
Open to the first 250 users for about two months, so we can understand usage, gather feedback and assess what it takes to run the service.
Wider availability
Access opens more broadly once the limited release has shown what needs to change.
Scholar-level support
Deeper, more rigorous answers for advanced students and scholars, added in future releases.
The larger plan
MadhvaGPT is one part of a longer effort. Target dates are tentative and will move as we learn what users need most.
Tentative target: Mid 2026
Searchable granthasDigitise the granthas held across the Mādhva maṭhas and make them searchable, with translation and transliteration across Sanskrit, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and English.Tentative target: End of 2026
Searchable pāṭhas and pravachanasBring audio and video teachings from across the maṭhas into one place, with the permission of their owners, so that a lesson on any topic can be found by voice or text in the language you choose.Tentative target: Mid 2027
A platform for vidwāṁsaruGive scholars a place to review and add to the digitised texts and use them in pāṭhas and pravachanas, and give bhaktādis a way to find a scholar by subject, wherever they live.
How it is planned to fit together
- Sources
- Printed and manuscript granthas, existing work by vidwāṁsaru, and recordings of pāṭhas and pravachanas.
- Languages
- Translation and transliteration between Sanskrit, Tulu, Kannada and English, with room for other Indian languages.
- Reasoning
- Search first, then reason over what is found. Where maṭhas or granthas differ in interpretation, the differences are kept, not flattened.
- Ways to use it
- A simple text interface, an app, and an open interface that other applications can plug into.

Questions and answers
What is MadhvaGPT?
An AI-powered resource for the study of Madhva Siddhānta. You ask a question in ordinary words and it explains what the Sarvamūla Granthas and the works of our Ācāryas say. It teaches through audio as well as text.
Is it only text?
No. MadhvaGPT also teaches through audio. You can listen to ślokas and learn the correct pronunciation of the Bhagavad Gītā and Harikathāmṛtasāra, using audio tools powered by Vagdhenu.
Is it free?
Yes. Early access during the limited release is free, and you can join from any part of the world.
Can I still join the pilot?
All 250 pilot places are filled and registration is closed. You can join the MadhvaGPT WhatsApp group through the same form to hear first when more places open.
Who is the pilot for?
Anyone aged 16 or older who is keen to learn Madhva Siddhānta, can use MadhvaGPT a few times a week for two months, and is willing to share feedback and a testimonial.
Why only 250 users?
We are introducing version 2.0 gradually to understand usage, gather feedback and assess operational requirements before making it available more broadly.
Which texts does it draw on?
The Sarvamūla Granthas, ṭīkās and ṭippaṇīs of our Ācāryas, and Jagannātha Dāsaru’s Harikathāmṛtasāra.
How reliable are the answers?
Beta results were very promising for beginner and intermediate users. Advanced and scholar-level questions still need refinement, and we keep improving from user feedback. Treat it as a study aid alongside your teacher and the texts, not a replacement for them.
Which languages are supported?
Multiple Indian languages. The full list for version 2.0 will be published here at launch. The longer-term plan covers Sanskrit, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and English.
Does MadhvaGPT belong to one maṭha?
No. The aim is a single resource that serves all Mādhva maṭhas and their students, without preference.
What happens after the limited release?
We review what pilot users tell us, refine the system, and then open access to more people. Alongside that, work continues on making granthas and recorded teachings searchable.
