An Introduction to Vedanta

The Upanishads are the most recent additions to the central scriptures of ancient Indian religious tradition–the Vedas. They represent a period of transition from the archaic ritualism of the early Vedas, to a focus on philosophy and spirituality, which would form the foundation of future schools, such as Vedanta, which literally means, “End of the Vedas”. The Upanishads therefore reflect a development in understanding, and these developments would later be interpreted in different ways, by different Indian philosophers, giving rise to various schools of thought, including Madhvacharya’s Dvaita, Ramanuja’s Vishishtadvaita, and Adi Shakara’s Advaita. The distinctions between interpretations are based on the degree of reality that is granted to the world. <a href="https://medium.com/paraphilosophy/an-introduction-to-vedanta-de91a852e8a1">Read More</a>
