Nityasamsarin

One of the three classes of beings in the
Dvaita Vedanta philosophical school,
founded by the philosopher Madhva
477
Nityasamsarin
(1197–1276). Madhva’s fundamental
belief was that God was utterly transcendent, above and beyond the world
and human beings. The strength of this
conviction led him to stress the importance of grace as the sole means of salvation, since human beings were
unable to save themselves. Given this
dire view of human capacities, Madhva
divided the beings of the world into
three classes: The muktiyogas were
destined for final liberation, the
nityasamsarins were destined for eternal rebirth, and the tamoyogas were
predestined for eternal damnation.
