“… The present work is comprehensive without being too technical… The approach is objective by profession and the treatment as behooves a student of science by profession is uniformly lucid and suggestive… The work is well planned… The book deserves to be most carefully read by all laymen as well as students of Indian philosophy for an authentic exposition…"

4. Prof. N.A. Nikam, M.A. (Cantab) Professor of Philosophy, Mysore University. “interesting book … your presentation is consistently lucid. The brief discussion of Sri Madhwa’s epistemology ought to show what a great logician the Acharya was…"

6. Vedanta Kesari (Journal)

"This presents the Philosophy of Sri Madhwa in outline so that even those who are not trained in technical metaphysics could understand it. Emphasis is laid on the epistemological and ontological sides of the Acharya's philosophy— Mr. Rao expounds methodically the central concepts of Dwaita metaphysics. He shows how, according to Madhwa, and analysis of knowledge, the problem of knowledge etc., all lead to a pluralistic view of reality the author has succeeded in a great measure in achieving his aim…”

7. Dr. P. Nagaraja Rao in "Dharmaprakash Journal”

"The volume is an excellent monograph of the philosophy of the Acharya presented by a devout and a discerning student of Dvaita Vedanta, based on firsthand study of the source materials and the works of Sri Madhva.”
