Facts and thoughts
Want to know the fact that how Vyasaraja Mutt, Rayara Mutt and Uttaradi Mutt got formed ?
My appeal to all followers of Vyasaraja Mutt, Rayara Mutt & Uttaradi Mutt is that Madhwas need not simply have opinions that respective mutt (see above) is first and the original one. Let us not opine and/or argue. Again let us also give equal status to other sub-sects of Brahman, like Smartha or Iyengars or Iyers or Sanketi etc, etc. All are equal.
Let us follow brahmin culture and respect the said culture. We need to celebrate brahmin festivals, leave alone whether one eats मिष्ठान्न भोजन or does fasting on that particular festive day.
The time has come to look at the present situation / state of affairs in the brahmin community and we need to help to build a brahmin community with strong values so that we will be guiding the present young generation and next generations to come....
Secondly, I appreciate Puthige Mutt pontiff for his tremendous expansion of branches overseas where we see many of our present madhwa youths/ middle-aged members are relocated. He has become a guiding force not only to all madhwa members but also other brahmin sub-sects. My opinion is that we need to stop saying saptasamudra travel सप्तसमुद्र प्रयाण is not acceptable.

Now let us see how three big Mutts got formed.
Part One
1. Shri Madhwacharyaru
2. Shri Padmanabha Teertharu
(disciple of Shri Madhwacharyaru)
3. Shri Narahari Teertharu
(disciple of Madhwacharyaru)
4. Shri Madhava Teertharu
(disciple of Madhwacharyaru)
5. Shri Akshobhya Teertharu
(disciple of Madhwacharyaru)
All the above headed the Mutt one after another in the above order.
6. Shri Jaya Teertharu (disciple of 5. Shri Akshobhya Teertharu)
7. Shri Vidyadhiraja Teertharu (disciple of 6. Shri Jaya Teertharu)
Yati No. 7, Shri Vidyadhiraja Teertharu was the head of Mutt (name of this mutt.. let us not discuss) and was stationed in Yeragola, near Malkhed, near Gulbarga.
Mutt Splits into two in the year 1392 because -
Shri Vidyadhiraja Teertharu had two sanyasi shishyas.
- first disciple is Shri. Rajendra Teertharu (Yati 8 Vyasaraja Mutt)
- second disciple is Shri. Kaveendra Teertharu (Yati 8 in Rayara Mutt and Uttaradi Mutt)
Yati No. 8, Shri Rajendra Teertharu became pontiff of this first Mutt. The parampara of the first disciple Shri Rajendra Teertharu headed mutt, came to be known as Poorvadi Mutt. The same parampara was later (after the year 1539) called by the name Shri Vyasaraja Mutt because of the illustrious Shri Vyasaraja Teertharu who adorned the peetha.
Part Two
The second disciple of Shri Vidyadhiraja Theertharu is Shri Kaveendra Theertharu. This Yati No. 8, Shri Kaveendra Teertharu headed the Second Mutt (name of mutt then, sorry, let us not discuss).
This Second Mutt Yati No. 9 is Shri Vageesha Teertharu.
This Second Mutt Yati No. 10 is Shri Ramachandra Teertharu.
Now again this Second Mutt Splits in year 1435 because -
Yati No. 10 Shri Ramachandra Teertharu had two sanyasi shishyas.
- The first disciple is Shri Vibudhendra Teertharu (Yati No. 11 in Rayara Mutt)
- The second disciple is Shri Vidyanidhi Teertharu (Yati No. 11 in Uttaradi Mutt)
The parampara of the disciple, Shri Vibudhendra Teertharu (Yati No. 11 in Second Mutt) later came to be known (after the year 1671) by the name Shri Raghavendra Swami Mutt or Rayara Mutt because of the great yati, Shri Raghavendra Teertharu who adorned the peeTha.
The lineage of Shri Vidyanidhi Teertharu came to be known as Uttaradi Mutt.
Yati No. 1 to Yati No. 7 (please see part one) are common for Vyasaraja Mutt and Rayara Mutt and Uttaradi Mutt.
Not to get confused - Yati No. 8 Shri Kaveendra Teertharu, Yati No. 9 Shri Vageesha Teertharu and Yati No.10 Shri Ramachandra Teertharu are common to Rayara Mutt and Uttaradi Mutt.
Part Four
There are 26+ mutts. The latest being, Prayag Madhwa Mutt, Prayag, formed by Vidyamanyaru of Palimaru Mutt (also of Bhandarakeri Mutt). Shri Vidyamanyaru anointed Sri Vidyavallabharu (Kushtagi Ramachar) as the first pontiff of this new mutt.
ALL MADHWA YATIGALU OF ALL MUTTS
