  The Complete Advaitha Page - Fundamentals of Advaitha philosophy and its practical outlook
Advaitha means 'one-ness', or 'not separate into two'.
The term 'Advaitha' is used here purely based on the meaning of this word.
That is not logical because one has to bear in mind that this philosophy has to encompass all there is in the world.

  Advaitha Principle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Sri Ãdi Śankarā was the main advocator of the Advaitha doctrine.
Whatever be the situation, the Advaitha theory was questioned and put aside by the future inquisitive generations of spiritual seekers and the other theories of spiritual realization gained in popularity, just because of the inability of succeeding disciples to explain his Sānskrit doctrines well in the background of Upanishads.
But The Advaitha Sidhanta gained popularity in the modern ages and the order that he established surpassed the tests of time and now the establishment is the most respected with devotees world over.

 SriShankara And Advaitha Principle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Shankara was the advocate and propagator of the `Advaitha Sidhanta'.
His theory of advaitha philosophy explained the world as a total illusion and the godhead was supposed to be the only real existing reality.
Later exponents of Sankarâ's doctrines were confused among themselves and the interpretations were variants of the original philosophy laid down by Sankarâ; which he repeatedly stated to be just replica of the principal upanishádic scriptures, being given a lucent poetic form so that the weak minded could comprehend better.

Advaitha is good, but telling a lie is not good.
We are done with Sankara, but the confusion he created in the minds of many remains like “knowledge of the empirical world has the same relation to knowledge of Brahman as the phantoms of a dream have to the apprehension of reality when the sleeper wakes up (II,1,14).
Advaitha means thinking united with the universe and the God.

 Re:advaitha and visishtaadvaitha
Doesn't Advaita seem to be logical in saying the there is only one Supreme being without Name,form and qualities and Naryana,siva are merely manifestations of that Brahman and so the question of who is Supreme never comes into play.
------------------------------------------------------- The answer follows :- Advaitha literally means "Not two or Non dual" and Visishtaadvaitha literally means"Not two or Non dual but having visheshanas(qualities or attributes)".So the former term is taken to mean Non duality without qualities.
Adv :- Brahman alone is the only reality which is attributeless or having no visheshanas.All else i.e Isvara(God), Jiva atma(finite self) and the prakriti(matter) are ultimatley mere imaginary concepts or misapprehensions of Brahman,which are felt to be real as long as the Non-dual Brahman is realized through intution.

For, it is only when one has the realization of the Atman, “the One without a Second” that one can be truly termed a Gyani and a sage.
But this is not the fact, as Shankara’s explains further that :- the Jiva is not different from Brahman, provided it has shed its self-imposed limitations, attachments, illusory presumptions, prejudices, predilections, the transient individuality, ego, and negative thoughts.
And thereby he develops Purity of the Intellect and the Mind, before he realises, through Divine Grace, the non-dual state of Advaitha, which is the Jiva’s true and eternal nature.

In line with the tradition, the Jeeyar has travelled across the country twice in the last four years.
A variant of Advaitha philosophy, Visishtadvaitha agrees with Advaitha on the point that the Jeevatma, the living soul, reaches the Paramatma, the supreme soul, after sojourning in earth.
But, the philosophy asserts Sriman Narayanan or Maha Vishnu, is the Paramatma and only through dedicated service that the Jeevatma would become one with him.The Jeeyars' traits are also different from other seers.
