The distinction between advaita, dvaita & Vishishtadvaita (May 2017)

[@r.5664]

Yes . Ultimately exploring godliness hidden within us is the aim . Unveiling this truth with conviction is not an easy job . But getting engaged with satsang in different ways like thru bhakti, karma (helping others to rise) and regular guidelines from the work of great saints can lead us to the hidden divinity within us . Thanks for this wonderful discourse.

Brahman and Parabrahman are entirely different. We are Brahman and God( KRSNA) is Parabrahman. We are spiritual sparks of the SUPREME LORD KRISHNA. As we are marginal energy of the LORD, the jiva-atma is very much vulnerable. It is therefore fallible. But it is not the case of Parabrahman. The Parabrahman is infallible, Master of MAYA( material energy) and the spirit-souls(jiva-atma).

@@31b_saujanyamitra31 Duality of athma and paramathma can be created only by an egoistic mind just like how monotheistic Abrahamic religions were created. Too many fake interpretations of original Advaitha and Dvaitha were created by the colonizers using non existent figures like Ramanuja and Madhavacharya to promote blind bakthi movement which can mimic blind faith Abrahamic religions. The motive of colonizers was to create an organized religion like Abrahamic religions to control people. The truth is Advaitha (non dual athma= brahman) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi but only in combination with non dual athma) are incomplete without each other. This is Sankhya vedic metaphysics which can be validated by logic, experiment (double slit quantum experiment) and embodied experience (focus + meditation) Why athman = brahman? It is because without the immanent and conscious athma nothing exists or nothing can be perceived in its current form or no duality cycles can happen. Moreover, immanent Athma is NOT the doer even though it is the conscious observer and experiencer. So, athman = brahman.

Vedanta-End of Veda are Upanishads,seen as a essence of Vedas. From Upanishads teaching of vedanta comes,in that teaching Advaita comes,which was taught by shankaracharya.There is one nothing but God.No distinction between devotee and object of devotion.Any sense of distinction is illusion.The wave itself is an illusion.Its maya,there is nothing but God.No form,no names,attributless existence. Vashisht advaita-Ramanuja charya-Oneness with unique qualities,That God is not attributless there are attributes of God. Wave is attributes of ocean. Finite depends upon infinite.Body and soul relation.Devotion Dvaita-Devotion of separateness,Lover of the Beloved.Path rooted in Love of God by devotee.Different paths of loving God.God is different.Its live of distinct divine being.Bhakti yoga.Different ways of devotion. Shankaracharya-Gyan of knowledge,Gyanyoga. What matters is we connect.Gives innumerable different way to connect to God. Know it and leave it. Bhakti and devotion,through devotion God will be Discovered,which is in ourself only.

[@ratipati2007]

Very wrong idea at the very beginning of the talk. This speaker says 'Vedanta' means 'end of sum of teachings of Veda'. The term 'anta' does not mean 'end'. In Bhagavt Gita, Bhagvan Veda Vyasa was described as 'vEdAnta krit'. If you go by advaitic meaning of 'anta' means 'end, then the Gita's description becomes Vyasa as the 'terminator of Veda'!!! What a joke!! . So, the correct meaning of 'Vedaanta' should be understood as 'essance of Vedas'. Since Brahma Sutras's role is to deterministically fix the meaning Veda (tatva-nischhaya), they are called 'Vedanta shastra'. Since Vyasa is author of B.Sutra, Geeta is describing Him as 'Vedanta-krit'. This is the correct meaning given by One and Only Acharaya Madhva!

[@bennguyen1313]

So the Vedanta (summary of the 4 vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva) / upanishads*) teaches advaita.. not-two, i.e. oneness, no separation between God/Self... VishishtAdvaita is Advaita but adds uniqueness, like the ocean and waves analogy. Dvaita/Bhedavāda, Tattvavāda / Bimbapratibimbavād also recognizes oneness with uniqueness, but emphasizes the devotion of the "ocean" in order to understand Veda? *Each Veda is comprised of 4 parts Samhita/Mantra/Hymns, Brahmana/ritual, Aranyaka/philosophy/Sannyasa and Upanishad/essence. Each Veda part is understood via 6 Vedanga limbs (Jyotisha, Vyakarana, Chhandas, shikShA,kalpa and nirukta)

[@ratipati2007]

@Ben Nguyen , The speaker of this video is quite uneducated on the things. Dvaita's position is that Brahman is different (bEdha) from Jiva(s). Brahman is independent reality (svatantra sat) while all jIvas and Jada-vastu are dependent reality. See my another reply on the term 'Vedanta'. The speaker is all wrong at the very beginning of video when she says Vedanta means 'end of Vedas'. Quite laughable.

[@Dharmicaction]

Ben Nguyen Both Madhvacharya and Ramanuja (and their fake intepretations of original Dvaitha and Advaitha) were fake creations of colonialists to promote blind bakthi movement which can mimic organized Abrahamic religions. Their motive was to control people during colonialism through a blind religion (one more way to control people in addition to discrimination and starvation). Point is Advaitha (non dual athma) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi but only in combination with non dual and immanent athma) are incomplete without each other.

I am a follower of Dwaita vedanta of Madhwa. So to say Ramanujas visishta vedanta nothing but replica of Adi shankaras Advaitha.

[@rajasrinivasan]

She is basically talking about Advaita only. Advaita is basically modified Buddhism. Lord Buddha disowned the Vedas, and Adi Sankara wanted people to realize the true nature of Knowledge. He had to be careful when he preached the greatness of Veda, since 95% of Indians were Buddhists at that time. Remember Ramanuja came 200 years after Adi Sankara and he took Vedanta a little bit further. Then came Madhvacarya and Chaitanya and others. This journey from Advaita to Vishishitadvaita to Dvaita reflects the progress of Vedantic philosophy. Without this understanding of history comparing the three philosophies is meaningless.

[@indra1489]

Advaita is nonsense buddism, only dvaita is the real truth...or vaishnavism...

[@Dharmicaction]

If u say advaitha is nonsense then you say Shiva which is immanent (athma), transcendent and omnipresent is nonsense. I am sure your confusion is caused by the wrong interpretation of Maya by some ADVAITHA followers who say that that it is the illusion through which Brahman falsely appears as the universe. Original Advaitha does not say that. it just says the illusion (false identification with thoughts and body by immanent shiva is caused by Maya but it does NOT mean Maya = illusion. What is Maya? Maya is the creative shakthi of shiva. So, it is absolutely real. It means the material realm is also real. Original Dvaitha also does not say that athman is different from brahman. It just talks about duality of Shakthi (but only in combination with non dual shvia). Point is without the immanent athma nothing exists or nothing can be perceived in its current form or no duality cycles can happen. So, the immanent athma is the conscious observer, experiencer even though not the doer. So, athman = Brahman This is SANKHYA vedic metaphysics which combines Advaitha and Dvaitha. Advaitha and Dvaitha are incomplete without each other. In other words, Shiva and Shakthi always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. Sankhya vedic metaphysics can be validated by logic, experiment (double slit quantum experiment) and embodied experience (focus + meditation)

[@jaynelamangala5666]

This is a very rudimentary talk. This is what happens when one talks about God, without talking Veda first. God is a concept that belongs to Veda and hence comes from Veda . So, before talking anything related to 'God' one should present Veda which taught it to him/her. Otherwise, it will all be human speculations on what philosophy should be. If Veda is lost, Brahman is lost. It is as simple as that. If Veda is ignored, Brahman is ignored. To talk about God without Veda, is like a blind man talking about green color, which is a mere word for him. Vedaanta is the final meaning that comes out of a study of Veda. When Veda itself is missing, what 'vedAnta' are we talking about anyways ?. JayakrishNa Nelamangala
