	VEDANTA
		Vedanta, based on the speculative portion of late Vedic literature, primarily the treatises known as Aranyakas and Upanishads, is chiefly concerned with knowledge of Brahman, the universal supreme pure being.
		Through the proper knowledge of Vedanta, however, the individual soul recognizes the limitless reality forever existing behind the cosmic veil of maya, realizes that its own true nature is identical with Brahman, and through this self-realization achieves moksha (release from samsara and karma) and Nirvana.
		In the U.S., for example, in the early 1980s some 1000 members were claimed by the Vedanta Society of America, affiliated with a group with international headquarters at Belur Math, the Ramakrishna Mission chapel near Calcutta.
