Which Guru did Madhvacharya join as a monk?

Adi Shankara
Ramanuja
Achyutapreksha
Vishnuswami

Answer

Achyutapreksha, also known as Purnaprajna, was Madhvacharya's guru. He initiated Madhvacharya into the sanyasa (monastic) order and taught him the tenets of the Dvaita Vedanta philosophy. Madhvacharya went on to become a prominent exponent of Dvaita Vedanta and established the Madhva Matha, a Hindu monastic institution.
