Vedanta is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, rooted in the ancient texts known as the Upanishads, which are part of the Vedas. The term "Vedanta" literally means "the end or conclusion of the Vedas." Here are some key points about Vedanta:Philosophical Foundations:Vedanta primarily draws from the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Brahma Sutras. These texts together form the Prasthanatrayi, the three foundational texts of Vedanta.Major Sub-schools:Advaita Vedanta (Non-dualism), propounded by Adi Shankaracharya, emphasizes that the soul (Atman) and Brahman (the ultimate reality) are one and the same; there's no distinction between the individual and the universal spirit.Vishishtadvaita (Qualified Non-dualism), founded by Ramanuja, posits that while there is one ultimate reality, souls and the world are attributes or aspects of that reality, but distinct.Dvaita (Dualism), developed by Madhvacharya, asserts that there are fundamental differences between the soul, the world, and God; they are eternally distinct.Core Concepts:Brahman: The ultimate reality or cosmic spirit, which is formless, eternal, and unchangeable.Atman: The true self or soul, which is often considered a reflection of Brahman in Advaita Vedanta.Maya: The illusion or ignorance that veils the true nature of reality, leading to the perception of multiplicity and suffering.Moksha: Liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara), achieved through realization of one's true nature as Brahman.Spiritual Practices:Vedanta encourages practices like meditation (dhyana), self-inquiry (vichara), devotion (bhakti), and the study of scriptures to realize the unity of the self with Brahman.Influence and Modern Interpretations:Vedanta has influenced various aspects of Indian culture, philosophy, and spirituality. In modern times, figures like Swami Vivekananda popularized Vedanta in the West, emphasizing its universal aspects and compatibility with science.Vedanta's teachings are not only philosophical but also practical, aiming at the liberation of the individual through understanding and transcending the material world's limitations. It has had a profound impact on Hindu religious practices, ethics, and the pursuit of spiritual wisdom.
