	Advaita Vedanta - Integral Wiki
		Advaita Vedanta is the generic name for philosophic teachings of Bramanistic/Hinduistic origin that offer a nondual stance regarding the ultimate relationship between the human and the divine.
		Advaita Vedanta is commonly misapprehended as an intellectual philosophy, whereas it is quite practical, seeking to mould the body and mind back into a purer state of being.
		Advaita Vedanta philosophy had a tremendous impact on the Hindu system of Tantra and also served to bolster Yogic (see Yoga) ideas of the ultimate Self, Brahman/Atman, being One.

	INFO : advaita vedAnta - FAQ
		Since the philosophy of advaita is rooted in the upanishads, which are part of the eternal vedas, the advaita tradition does not trace itself to a historical personality.
		However, if it is held that advaita vedAnta is essentially the same as madhyamaka buddhism, it must be pointed out that such a view stems from a misunderstanding of the important tenets of both advaita vedAnta and madhyamaka buddhism.
		Within advaita, mAyA has a technical significance as the creative power of brahman, which also serves to occlude, due to which the universe is perceived to be full of difference, and the unity of brahman is not known.

	advaita vedanta
		Advaita's answer to this issue is buried in the advaitic conception of brahman.
		There are different theories of causality described by advaita vedantins, but they are all agreed that brahman is the sole cause of the universe, i.e both the instrumental and the material cause of the universe.
		One important upanishadic source for advaita vedanta's theory of two levels of truth is the analysis of the atman as " neti, neti " - not this, not this.

	Vedanta - Gurupedia
		Vedanta (meaning literally the end of the Vedas) is a branch of Hindu philosophy.
		It relies on the Upanishads, which are known as Vedanta due to their containing the end and fundamental essence of all the Vedas, and some of the earlier Aranyakas.
		But, consistent throughout Vedanta is the authoratative declaration that ritual is to be eschewed in favor of intuitional questing for truth, for meditation governed by a loving morality, secure in the knowledge that infinite bliss does await her/him who seeks beyond the mere body and mind for it.

	Myswizard » Advaita Vedanta
		Advaita Vedanta (IAST advaita vedānta; Devanagari अद्वैत वेदान्त; IPA [ədvaitə vé:dα:ntə]) is probably the best known of all Vedanta schools of philosophy of Hinduism, the others being Dvaita and Vishishtadvaita (total six).
		The key texts from which all Vedanta (lit., end or the goal of the Vedas) texts draw are the Upanishads (twelve or thirteen in particular), which are usually at the end of the Vedas, and the Brahma Sutras (also known as Vedanta Sutras), which in turn discuss the essence of the Upanishads.
		Advaita served to bring to the fore the Hindu/Vedic philosophy whose seed can be seen in the Rig Vedic statement “Truth is One, though the sages see it as many.” Advaitism is definitely the deepest and the most influential philosophy of India.

		Advaita Vedanta is the most well-known school of Indian philosophy.
		Therefore, the Gurus in the Advaita tradition prescribe that an earnest student of Advaita Vedanta has to satisfy many qualities, such as patience, fortitude, keen concentration, continence, devotion to God and the Guru, and an ability to discriminate between the eternal and the ephemeral.
		Thus, Advaita Vedanta synthesizes the study of the ancient Vedas, popular Bhakti-oriented religion and Yoga with a sharp philosophical thinking, to form a solid bed-rock upon which a lot of contemporary Hindu religion rests.

		Sankara's Advaita Vedanta is generally regarded as having best developed the main strand of Upanisadic thought, which stresses the identity of Atman and Brahman.
		Advaita does not deny that our normal "I-consciousness" is intentional: "There is no manifestation of the 'I' without a modification of the mind directed to the external" (Suresvara).
		Conversely, Advaita denies the object completely, for "there is nothing else but the Self." After refuting the extreme dualism of Sankhya, we are left with Buddhism and Vedanta, whose solutions to the subject—object problem seem to be diametrically opposed.
