	Gaudapada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Maandukya Kaarikaa of Gaudapaada (8th century CE) also known as the Agama Shaastram is the earliest available systematic treatise on Advaita Vedaanta.
		For those well versed in the Vedaanta the world is like a city of Gaandharvas - an illusion.
		This is the established conclusion of the Vedaanta.

	The Kena Upanisad translation and commentary by Swami Dayananda Saraswati
		Vedaanta is a body of knowledge whose source is the Upanisads.
		The teachings of Vedaanta found in the Upanisads are a pramaana, a means of knowledge.
		Unless you accept Vedaanta as a pramaana, you will not examine what it has to say; you will not use it as a means of knowledge.

		It is the concluding portion of the Aaranyaka and the core of Vedaanta philosophy.
		One of the meanings of the term Vedaanta is "the last part of the Veda", as it is mainly based upon Upanisád-s, which occur at the end of the Veda-s.
		On one hand, the celebrated Vedaantasuutra-s or "aphorisms on Vedaanta" were composed by Dvaipaayanavyaasa (or Vyaasa, plainly) himself in order to clearly establish the principles of Vedaanta system.

	CHAPTER FOUR
		Secondly, in the west, many may think that Advaita Vedaanta is a sort of pantheism, according to which the individual soul loses, as it were, its identity and becomes one with Brahman.
		The fourth objection that is brought against Advaita Vedaanta is that it is anti-worship and anti-religion in character, since the liberated man is identical with Brahman.
		In fact the goal and the purpose of Advaita Vedaanta is to help the aspirant to recognize the passing nature of this universe, the world of multiplicity, including the supreme Lord Iishvara, and attain absolute identity with Brahman, the ultimate reality.

	CHAPTER TWO
		Advaita Vedaanta sees in ignorance a way to explain the phenomenal world of names and forms, that is superimposed on Brahman, the absolute reality behind the universe and Aatman the substratum that underlies the empirical ego.
		Vedaanta speaks of six means of knowledge, which can be categorized into two groups, based on the subject matter each group is dealing with.
		"Maayaa causes superimposition." Both of these statements are valid from the perspective of Advaita Vedaanta, as in empirical matters, it accepts the doctrine of satkaaryavaada, which says that the cause and the effect are one and the same in substance.

		So the point is, the vast majority of Vedaanta schools do not accept the theory of "merger" of soul and God.
		It is not that of the great Vedaanta scholars who actually studied scripture and wrote commentaries.
		This science of Vedaanta requires that we quote evidence, which comes in three forms: shabda (Vedas), pratyaksha and anumaana (information gathered by senses and deduction based on such sensory input).

	Advaita and KevalAdvaita (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		As far as I know, the word "kevala-advaita" is used by some northern schools of vaishnavism to refer to Shankara's advaita as distinguished from their own form of advaita, for example, Shuddha-advaita, dvaita-advaita, etc. I am not sure if the term "kevala-advaita" is taken as a proper way of describing Shankara's advaita by his followers.
		Actually, one could argue that since only advaita is explained in vedaanta, the terms advaita and vedaanta are synonyms.
		Since most of the vaishnava schools do not agree with Shankara's advaita on a number of points, their terming of the latter's system as "kevala-advaita" may not be taken as a compliment.

	Dharmakiirti's Refutation of Theism
		Indian civilization, no less than that of the West, is haunted by the concept of God, and Indian philosophical writing, no less than the works of Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, or Hume, has as one of its important concerns the existence or nonexistence of an omniscient, eternal, independent, benevolent being who creates and/or designs the cosmos.
		It undoubtedly is due to the overwhelming preference for Vedaanta among modern exponents of Indian philosophy that Indian tradition so often is presented through theistically-shaded lenses, and it is not incorrect to assert that, in general, Indian civilization has become more theistic during the same period in which the West has become less so.
		Lying midway conceptually between the immanent brahman of Vedaanta and the detached, inactive supreme puru.sa of Yoga is the ii ‘svara of Nyaaya, who is neither the material cause of the cosmos (like brahman), nor utterly non-causal (like the supreme puru.sa), but, rather, the world's shaper and arranger its efficient cause, as it were.

		Along with showing the relationship of the word O.m and its components to the four states of consciousness, the Maa.n.duukya Upani.sad also appears to expound the doctrine of non-duality (advaita) of the Brahman-Atman.
		Hence, it holds a central place in Advaita Vedaanta philosophy and is regarded by the Muktikaa Upani.sad (I:27) as being sufficient by itself to lead one to liberation.
		This Kaarikaa is, according to S. Radhakrishnan, "the first systematic exposition of Advaita Vedaanta" (_The Principal Upani.sads_.

	HinduOFUniverse
		Avataar or Divine Incarnation — Vedaanta school of Hinduism, the most popular school of these times, accepts the idea that the Divinity can be born in a body from time to time to show the path and liberate others.
		Even among the Vedaanta schools of Hinduism there are some differences towards the view of the Avataar, but they all accept the idea, unlike the other schools.
		For instance, any school will be called a school of Vedaanta only if the founder/s wrote a commentary on the Upanishads, Brahmasutras and the Bhagavad Gita (all three together called Prasthana-Trayi) to establish their point of view — the basis of differentiation and establishment of a separate school of Vedaanta.

		The aim of Vedaanta is to enable one to attain this realization.
		The similarity between non-dual realization and meditations is that both are mere modifications of the mind.

		The full title of the YCC is Tn-fang-kuang Yuan-chueh hsiu-to-lo liao-i-ching(j), supposedly translated from a Sanskrit text by a north Indian Kashmir monk, Chueh-chiu(k), in 718 at the famous White Horse Temple at Lo-yang.

		The origins and early development of the key terminology with which Vedic and post-Vedic speculations about the nature of the self and its relationship to cosmos has not been examined.
		The subtlety of the UpaniSads and the philosophy of Vedaanta arose from a web of rhythmic hymns upon which the priests were said to weave both the identity of the individual and the cosmos.
		As early as the Rig Veda, dating to 1800 B.C.E., a complex conception of the self centered upon tanuú (presence, body) and tmán (itself, himself) in a cosmos where the divine and human realms were intricately interconnected.
