Vyasaraja Math

**Sri Vyasaraja Math ** (ವ್ಯಾಸರಾಜ ಮಠ) (formerly known as Poorvadi Math) is one of the three premier Dvaita Vedanta monasteries (matha) descended from Jagadguru Śrī Madhvācārya through Jayatirtha and Rajendra Tirtha (a disciple of Vidyadhiraja Tirtha) and their disciples.

Vyasaraja Math, along with Uttaradi Math and Raghavendra Math), are considered to be the three premier apostolic institutions of Dvaita Vedanta and are jointly referred as Mathatraya. It is the pontiffs and pandits of the Mathatraya that have been the principle architects of post-Madhva Dvaita Vedanta through the centuries. Among the mathas outside of Tulu Nadu region, after Uttaradi Matha, Vyasaraja Matha is the largest.
