Dvaita Vedānta was founded by Madhva in the thirteenth century. It teaches five eternal differences: between God and selves, God and matter, self and self, self and matter, and matter and matter. Viṣṇu alone is independent; everything else depends on him. Liberation is the grace of God, attained through knowledge and devotion.
