The philosophy of advaita, literally non-dualism, is the premier and oldest extant among the vedAnta schools of Indian philosophy. Îshvara a toujours conscience de l'unité de la nature de Brahman, et de la nature illusoire du monde. Un tel état de félicité, appelé Moksha ("Délivrance"), peut être atteint même pendant que l'on vit (jīvanmukta : "délivré vivant"). [324][325], Shankara lived in the time of the so-called "Late classical Hinduism",[326] which lasted from 650 to 1100 CE. [297], The Brahma Sutra is a critical study of the teachings of the Upanishads, possibly "written from a Bhedābheda Vedāntic viewpoint. In the transcendental level, only the one Atman, equal to Brahman, is true. Advaita (non-duality) and dvaita (duality) is the state of the Self. [web 22], Shankara organized monks under 10 names and established mathas for them. [502][474] While there is shared terminology, the Advaita doctrines of Gaudapada and Buddhism are fundamentally different. [2][3][4], Originally known as Puruṣavāda[5][note 1] and as māyāvāda,[6][7][8][9] the followers of this school are known as Advaita Vedantins, or just Advaitins,[10] regarding the phenomenal world as mere illusory appearance of plurality, experienced through the sense-impressions by ignorance (avidya), an illusion superimposed (adhyāsa) on the sole reality of Brahman. [333][334] Among the Stotra (poetic works), the Daksinamurti Stotra, Bhajagovinda Stotra, Sivanandalahari, Carpata-panjarika, Visnu-satpadi, Harimide, Dasa-shloki, and Krishna-staka are likely to be authentic. Liberation: according to Maṇḍana Miśra, the knowledge that arises from the Mahavakya is insufficient for liberation. Advaita Vedanta This blog is an attempt to discuss the essential philosophy of Advaita Vedanta in a scientific, philosophical and "traditional-religion"-agnostic point of view. Introduction - The advaita philosophy is not easy to explain briefly, and it is not my intention to repeat in a www home page what takes whole volumes for accomplished experts. The Vedānta tradition provides exegeses of the Upanishads, the Brahma Sutras, and the Bhagavadgita, collectively called the Prasthanatrayi, literally, three sources. "[374], According to Sangeetha Menon, prominent names in the later Advaita tradition are:[web 12], While Indologists like Paul Hacker and Wilhelm Halbfass took Shankara's system as the measure for an "orthodox" Advaita Vedānta, the living Advaita Vedānta tradition in medieval times was influenced by, and incorporated elements from, the yogic tradition and texts like the Yoga Vasistha and the Bhagavata Purana. Due to ignorance (avidyā), Brahman is perceived as the material world and its objects (nama rupa vikara). [77][78][79], According to Rambachan, in Advaita, this state of liberating self-knowledge includes and leads to the understanding that "the self is the self of all, the knower of self sees the self in all beings and all beings in the self. [216][217] One of the earliest mentions of Turiya, in the Hindu scriptures, occurs in verse 5.14.3 of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. P. Billimoria (1988), Śabdapramāṇa: Word and Knowledge, Studies of Classical India Volume 10, Springer. [321][322], Hacker and Phillips note that this insight into rules of reasoning and hierarchical emphasis on epistemic steps is "doubtlessly the suggestion" of Shankara in Brahma-sutra, an insight that flowers in the works of his companion and disciple Padmapada. Stephen Phillips (1998), Classical Indian Metaphysics, Motilal Banarsidass, sfn error: multiple targets (2×): CITEREFFort1998 (, sfn error: multiple targets (2×): CITEREFKing1995 (, JN Mohanty (1980), "Understanding some Ontological Differences in Indian Philosophy", Journal of Indian Philosophy, Volume, Joseph Milne (1997), "Advaita Vedanta and typologies of multiplicity and unity: An interpretation of nondual knowledge", International Journal of Hindu Studies, Volume, sfn error: multiple targets (2×): CITEREFKing2002 (, sfn error: multiple targets (3×): CITEREFMayeda1992 (. The Atman or the Eternal, all-pervading ‗Self‘ ever exists. [278], Sengaku Mayeda concurs, adding Shankara maintained the need for objectivity in the process of gaining knowledge (vastutantra), and considered subjective opinions (purushatantra) and injunctions in Śruti (codanatantra) as secondary. Arthāpatti (अर्थापत्ति), postulation, derivation from circumstances. "[498][note 45] The influence of Mahayana Buddhism on other religions and philosophies was not limited to Vedānta. The meaning of Vedānta can be summed up as "the end of the vedas" or "the ultimate knowledge of the vedas". 800–900 CE)[354] and Maṇḍana Miśra were contemporaries of Shankara, Sureśvara often (incorrectly) being identified with Maṇḍana Miśra. No it is not religion. The Advaita Vedānta tradition rejects the dualism of Samkhya purusha (primal consciousness) and prakriti (inert primal matter),[note 7] By accepting this postulation, various theoretical difficulties arise which Advaita and other Vedānta traditions offer different answers for. [456] One of its most popular text, the Bhagavata Purana, adopts and integrates in Advaita Vedānta philosophy. [223][240][528] However, some Buddhists in history, have argued that Buddhist scriptures are a reliable source of spiritual knowledge, corresponding to Advaita's Śabda pramana, however Buddhists have treated their scriptures as a form of inference method. This means of gaining proper knowledge is either spoken or written, but through Sabda (words). [361], Hiriyanna and Kuppuswami Sastra have pointed out that Sureśvara and Maṇḍana Miśra had different views on various doctrinal points:[362], After Shankara's death, several sub-schools developed. Or, if [they] allow the reservoir-consciousness to be lasting, [they] destroy [their] theory of momentariness. We have been talking of borrowing, influence and relationship in rather general terms. Chapter One, Two and Three are entirely Vedantin and founded on the Upanishads, with little Buddhist flavor. This description of advaita holds true for those authors who want to approach the paramArtha through the vyavahAra, i.e. [160][161][162] It is the introspective, inwardly self-conscious "on-looker" (saksi). [244] He must rely on others, his parent, family, friends, teachers, ancestors and kindred members of society to rapidly acquire and share knowledge and thereby enrich each other's lives. Then Atman is permanently absorbed into Brahman and become one and the same with it. – Advaita Makaranda, 1. Advaita Atma Yoga is an integral approach based on the principles of Advaita Vedanta and the main paths of yoga* but represents these ancient teachings in a way more digestible and comprehensible for the people of this modern age. [231] The hypothesis must further be broken down into two parts: 1) Sadhya (that idea which needs to proven or disproven) and 2) Paksha (the object on which the Sadhya is predicated). [35][36][37], Advaita influenced and was influenced by various traditions and texts of Hindu philosophies such as Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya, other sub-schools of Vedānta, Vaishnavism, Shaivism, the Puranas, the Agamas, as well as social movements such as the Bhakti movement. "[305] In contrast, Adi Shankara insists upon a distinction between waking experience and dreams. This epistemological method for gaining knowledge consists of three parts: 1) Pratijna (hypothesis), 2) Hetu (a reason), and 3) drshtanta (examples). [211] According to Candradhara Sarma, Turiya state is where the foundational Self is realized, it is measureless, neither cause nor effect, all prevading, without suffering, blissful, changeless, self-luminous, real, immanent in all things and transcendent. Cependant, Shankara a donné peu d'autres preuves logiques pour Dieu, dans le but que l'on porte attention dessus, non pas pour s'appuyer dessus entièrement : Dans la philosophie de l'Advaita Vedānta le soi non individualisé (Ātman) que l'on confond parfois avec le concept d'âme est exactement égal à Brahman. [457][458][459] The Bhagavata Purana is generally accepted by scholars to have been composed in the second half of 1st millennium CE. [156] Ātman, states Eliot Deutsch, is the "pure, undifferentiated, supreme power of awareness", it is more than thought, it is a state of being, that which is conscious and transcends subject-object divisions and momentariness. [41] Advaita Vedānta texts espouse a spectrum of views from idealism, including illusionism, to realist or nearly realist positions expressed in the early works of Shankara. Thus, states King, neo-Vedānta developed as a reaction to western Orientalism and Perennialism. [355] Both explained Sankara "on the basis of their personal convictions". See also.

Some of them call it a reflection on the absolute Brahman. Paul Deussen, Sixty Upanishads of the Veda, Vol 1 & 2. [94][91], Adi Shankara uses anubhava interchangeably with pratipatta, "understanding". It pervades all objects like ether. Si certains caractères de cet article s’affichent mal (carrés vides, points d’interrogation, Une telle attitude était en opposition aux autres écoles, comme Vishishtâdvaïta (Monisme mitigé), Dvaita-Vedānta (Vedānta dualiste) et Mīmāṃsā, qui croient que, la caste étant basée sur le karma de la vie précédente, elle devrait être suivie sans question, Dans la métaphysique indienne, la négation est considérée comme supérieure à l'affirmation - Car la négation d'une chose implique tout ce qui n'est pas cette chose, c'est-à-dire un ensemble beaucoup plus vaste que l'affirmation d'une autre chose.
