Of all his disciples, Shri Madhvacharya chose eight eminent disciples to offer worship to the Shri Krishna idol he installed at Udupi. The legacy of these eight disciples is what we see today as the famous Ashta Mathas of Udupi. The purport here is to learn about the guru parampare of Palimaru Matha which is one among the Ashta Mathas. The remembrance of these eminent seers is the reason for upliftmentof our lives.
