Statement 1: In the twelfth century, Ramanuja preached Visishtadvaita.According to him God is Sagunabrahman. The creative process and all the objects in creation are real but not illusory as was held by Sankaracharya. Therefore, God, soul, matter are real.But God is inner substance and the rest are his attributes.He also advocated prabattimarga or path of self-surrender to God. He invited the downtrodden to Vaishnavism.
Statement 2: In the thirteenth century, Madhava from Kannada region propagated Dvaita or dualism of Jivatma and Paramatma.According to his philosophy, the world is not an illusion but a reality.God, soul, matter are unique in nature.
