What is Madhava Navami?

Madhva Navami is the ārādhana (punya tithi) of Śrī Madhvacharya, observed on Māgha Śukla Navamī. Tradition holds that on this day, while expounding the Aitareya Upanishad to his disciples at the Ananteshwara Temple, Madhvacharya disappeared from sight (antardhāna) and proceeded to Badarikashrama to continue serving Vedavyasa — so the day is observed as an ārādhana, not a day of mourning.

About Madhava Navami

About

Madhava Navami

Madhva Navami is the annual ārādhana (punya tithi) of Śrī Madhvacharya, observed on Māgha Śukla Navamī.

According to the Madhva tradition, Madhvacharya did not die in the ordinary sense on this day. Instead, while expounding the Aitareya Upanishad to his disciples at the Ananteshwara Temple, he disappeared from their sight (antardhāna) and proceeded to Badarikashrama to continue serving Vedavyasa. The day is therefore observed as his ārādhana: a day of remembrance and celebration, not mourning.

This tithi is traditionally accepted by the Madhva sampradāya as the day of his appearance in Badarikā after becoming invisible to human eyes, and is commemorated annually by Madhva maṭhas.
