	Vedanta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also of note, historically, in order for a guru to be considered an acharya or great teacher of a philosophical school of Vedanta, he was required to write commentaries on three important texts in Vedanta, the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and the Brahma Sutras.
		The three schools they conceived are the most prevalent, however, proponents of other Vedantic schools continue to write and develop their ideas as well, although their works are not widely known outside of India.
		The systematization of Vedantic ideas into one coherent treatise was undertaken by Badarayana in the Vedanta Sutra, or Brahma Sutra.

	The Vedantic Age
		This period is commonly referred to as the Vedantic Age.
		The collection of teachings generated by the ascetics who meditated on the mysteries of human existence became known as the Upanishads, and the seekers who produced the writings were called Upanishads, which literally means "sitting near" the gurus.
		Still others point to the Vedantic Age, with the development of karma (deed), and the doctrine of samsara or the transmigration of birth and rebirth, as the fundamental beginning.

	Brahman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Vedantic (and subsequently Yogic) schools of Hinduism, Brahman (ब्रह्मन् in devanagari script) is the signifying name given to the concept of the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality that is the Divine Ground of all being.
		It is regarded as the source and sum of the cosmos, that constricted by time, space, and causation, as pure being, the "world soul." Thus, it was deemed a singular substrate from which all that is arises, and debuts with this verse:
		However, as the centuries passed and the first Upanishads (the primary Vedantic scriptures that putatively serve as commentaries on the original liturgical books of the Vedas) were written, the concept of Brahman fittingly grew in scope and complexity.

		The Vedantic system was superimposed on the existing mythology but did not displace and replace it.
		Instead the religion of mythology became overlaid with a patina of highly sophisticated Vedantic philosophy; the two become so inseparable that Hinduism came to be defined through mythology.
		Vedantic Hinduism regards the body as a prison for the soul, this results in a curious unwordliness or other wordliness in Hinduism.

	Brahma Sutras by Swami Sivananda
		A proper understanding of the Vedantic texts leads to the final emancipation of man. It is not necessary for him to exert or do any superhuman feat or action.
		They maintain that all the Vedanta texts which treat of the creation of the world clearly point out that the cause of the world has to be concluded from the effect by inference and the cause which is to be inferred is the connection of the Pradhana or Prakriti with the Souls or Purushas.
		Therefore the Vedantic texts which treat of creation clearly refer to Pradhana only and therefore it is the First Cause referred to by the scriptures." To these conclusions Sri Vyasa gives an answer in the following Sutra.

	VEDANTA FACTS AND INFORMATION
		While the traditional Vedic 'karma kanda', or ritualistic components of religion, continued to be practiced through the Brahmins as meditative and propitiatory rites to guide society to self-knowledge, more jnana- or knowledge-centered understandings began to emerge.
		The systematization of Vedantic ideas into one coherent treatise was undertaken by Badarayana in the Vedanta_Sutra, or Brahma Sutra.
		Additionally, Fritjof_Capra's book The_Tao_of_Physics is one among several that pursues this viewpoint as it investigates the relationship between modern, particularly quantum, physics and the core philosophies of various Eastern religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism.

	Atman in Sunyata and the Sunyata of Atman [Buddha's World]
		While the Vedantic self must negate all its ego-specific substantiality and transform into consciousness-as-nothingness, it is precisely the fulfillment of this negation that the true affirmation of the positive existence or substantiality of the self as Atman consists in.
		Nothingness therefore is one side of the coin of the Vedantic self, of which the other side is its ego-neutral or centreless substantiality.
		A deeper study of the Vedantic Atman-theory results in making the otherwise silent metaphysics of emptiness resonate with a persuasive explanatory voice, much as a scrutinizing look at the Buddhistic Sunyata-theory manages to get a glimpse of the shadowy presence of a full-fledged Atman that explains the possibility of enlightenment.

		The Vedantic message of the unity of Atman and Brahman, the individual and the universal, is the prime message of all Indic thought.
		The Vedantic declaration of independence is of being, consciousness, bliss and freedom absolute as our very nature, not a right given to us but as the very core of our being that we only need rediscover.
		Such a Vedantic land will be the true teacher of the world and all material problems will be easily mastered from the Self-mastery that unlocks all powers.

		The purpose of the present conference is to examine seriously the deeper insights of life and its origin through the inter-disciplinary approach of science and spirituality/theology incorporating the religious principle that life is a spiritual particle.
		According to the major spiritual traditions of the world, especially the ancient Vedantic tradition of India, there is a spiritual dimension to life which accounts for the purpose and meaning in life.
		According to Vedantic literatures, the seed of life atman or `spiriton' or the soul is injected by the Supreme Lord in the womb of mother nature and by the interaction of `spiriton' with the material particles, various life forms develop on earth.

		So Vedantic philosophy is the product of a methodology that bases religious beliefs on texts that are regarded as the word of God.
		For Vedantic philosophy, salvation is achieved through transcending the world of appearances, of coming to see that individuality and change is illusion, that it is a mask that hides the one, unchanging reality.
		Hence, the concept of God in Vedantic philosophy is embedded in a larger religious framework that articulates a distinct, ultimate purpose to human life.

		Vedantic Hinduism is the monistic form of Hinduism according to which the only true reality is Brahman and one can find one’s true identity as Brahman deep within one’s true self, called Atman.
		Since we already said that Vedantic Hinduism agrees in the main with the first and second noble truths, it follows that it must also agree with the basic stipulation of the third truth.
		The Vedantic ideal is the sannyasin, a person who has broken completely with his previous life, such as family, occupation, or social standing and has withdrawn into complete isolation, perhaps even living alone in the forest or traveling from village to village, all the while seeking his identity with Brahman through meditation.

	The Philosophy, Psychology and Practice of Yoga
		Therefore, the Vedantic approach to this problem took its unique form of constantly asserting and affirming the truth of the reality of your being and constantly rejecting and denying the other false factor that has now gripped your consciousness.
		And the whole process of Viveka or discrimination in the Vedantic approach or Vedantic Sadhana is to make vivid and clear to the seeker what is Self and what is non-Self.
		Because, if there is to be a complete transformation of your mental condition, a complete overhauling of the contents of your mind, you have to keep on exposing your mind constantly to the new awakening and enlightening ideas.

		When used mystically as "a receptacle or treasury of knowledge or wisdom," it corresponds very closely to the Vedantic vijnanamaya-kosa, the "thought-made sheath" of the human constitution, the higher manas or reincarnating ego.
		In Mahayana Buddhism, alaya-vijnana has acquired a somewhat larger and higher significance: alaya (an abode, in the sense of focus of activity), the prepositional prefix a (meaning position or limitation) with the verb li (to dissolve) signifies solution or coalescence in unity.

	W. B. Yeats and "A Vision": Indian Philosophy
		Blavatsky defended Subba Row as ‘a true Vedantic Adwaitee of the esoteric, hence genuine Brahman faith and-an occultist’, but his preference for Indian tradition later led to conflict with her during the period when Yeats was discovering Theosophy.
		He further held that ‘this unfortunate seven-fold classification is misleading’ and had led its exponent into ‘so many alterations in the conceptions associated with it to keep it in existence’ that it was virtually discredited.
		Also important, bearing in mind the enigma of the Ghostly Self, is the Vedantic system, where the Sheaths made of food and of energy, show possible parallels with the Faculties and Husk, and the ‘Sheath made of mind’ with Passionate Body.
