Extractions: The Indian mystical philosophies and religions are concerned not so much with the manifest reality we see about us, but with the unmanifest Absolute Transcendent . What matters is simply the practical attainment of a state of this universal, transcendent, transpersonal existence. In that state, there is no difference between individual Self (Jiva) and God (Ishwara); there is only the qualityless Absolute ( Nirguna Brahman) Perhaps the most important school of Indian philosophy, Advaita Vedanta originates from the writings of Gaudapada and Sankaracharya , who in turn were commentaors on earlier scriptures such as the Brahma Sutra , the Bhagavad Gita, and the Upanishads. As with all Indian systems of thought, Advaita Vedanta is at the same time a school of philosophy, a religion, a theology and a doctrine of salvation It's basic premise is all that all that ultimately exists is the Absolute Reality, Nirguna Brahman ("Brahman without qualities"). The phenomenal world has empirical validity. But it has no absolute reality. It is ultimately maya - a magical show - and mithya - false (neither real nor unreal). All that exists is nothing but Brahman. One's individual self is ultimately no different from Brahman, hence the importance given to the

Through words, it is a direct means of knowledge of oneself."Swami Dayananada Vedanta is a sabda pramana , a means of knowledge through words. However, most representations of Vedanta in America have failed to understand the importance of traditional pedagogy and have, instead, 'spoke for' and 'about' Vedanta as a philosophy, religion, (meta-) psychology, etc. and more often than not it is described, by modern teachers and swamis, as a doctrine in need of experiential validation. Given these dominant imaginations of Vedanta it becomes necessary to challenge asampradayavits (those who do not know or follow the tradition) in hopes of highlighting traditional Advaitic thought. CTV Research is dedicated to the teachings of Swami Dayananda Saraswati and his students who are now continuing the teaching tradition ( sampradaya ) of Advaita Vedanta in the United States. Swami Dayananda has been teaching Vedanta to the public of India since 1963 and since 1976 has given lecture tours at many universities in the United States, Canada, England, Sweden, Brazil, and Australia. Dayananda has also conducted six thirty-month residential courses in Vedanta and Sanskrit, four in India and two in the United States. This Research has found Dayananda, and a handful of his students, to be among the only teachers in the United States teaching Vedanta using Sanskrit texts and commentary and following the specific methodology of Sankara and advaita

Extractions: Center For Traditional Vedanta Dedicated to Advaita Sampradaya in the United States "In this world there is nothing more sacred, more purifying than knowledge. Therefore this knowledge, Arsha Vidya, is like a river that flows from the teacher to the student and to his or her student and thus it goes down. And knowledge being what it is, it is always true to the object. There cannot be a second version about knowledge."-Swami Dayananda Saraswati Arsha Vidya, the knowledge of the rishis, is passed along through a specific teaching methodology inherent in the Upanisads. Tradition acknowledges the 'south-facing form' of Lord Siva, Daksinamurti, as the first teacher of this knowledge. He imparted self-knowledge to Sanakadi rishis - Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatkumara and Sanatsujata - through silence. The Sanakadi rishis taught through an oral tradition which has been passed down through the centuries. The uninterrupted teacher/student succession ( guru sisya parampara ) of this knowledge is also traced to the rishis Vasistha, Sakti, Parasara and Vyasa who received instruction in the father-to-son lineage. Suka, the son of Vyasa, is regarded as Brahman and is referred to as Sukabrahman. Suka was also a celibate (

In the East, non-dual teachings are referenced by the term Advaita Vedanta Self-realization is the discovery of oneself as the infinite Peace, the eternal formless, the indescribable Love, the unfathomable Sacred, which is transcendent of conditioned thought. It is transcendent of you, as you think that you are, as well as transcendent of the world and all objects. It is the Mystery beyond the mind. With integration and the full embodiment of enlightenment , all form is recognized to be real and to be the manifestation of the formless. There is no self-referencing whatsoever and no abidance anywhere. In Advaita Vedanta , that which is beyond the mind cannot be conceptualized by the mind. When the illusory veil of the ego is lifted, there is a cessation of all duality which removes the illusion of separation and the illusion of all opposites. The illusion of individuality is dissolved in the eternal Ocean of Love. Like water pouring into water, without the possibility of return, it then manifests as waterfall, river, or ocean.

Extractions: Home Announcements Seva (KKSF) Tamil Section ... More ... The school of thought or sidhaanta expounded by Sri Adi Sankara, is known as Advaita. Greater thinkers who lived before the time of Acharya have also dealt with it. Wise men who came after Shri Acharya have also written profusely about Advaita pouring into their writings their own experience (Swaanubhava), of the Advaitic truth. There are such works not only in English, but also in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi and Hindi. Some of them are original works of Advaita. Persons belonging to other schools of Hindu religious thought and persons professing other religions have also written on Advaita, out of the abundance of their rich spiritual experience. Some of the names that come to mind are Tattvaraya Swami, A Madhava, Mastan Saheb, a Muslim and Vedanayagam Pillai, a Christian. In recent times we have the example of the late A.V. Gopalacharya, who has written a number of treatises and essays on Advaita. The catholicity of Advaita is also evident from the fact that pronounced Advaitins like Vachaspati Misra, who lived about one thousand years ago, Vidyaranya and Appayya Dikshitar wrote encyclopedic works on other systems with the fidelity of exposition rarely equaled and much less excelled by the protagonists of those systems themselves. Appayya Dikshitar says that as God's grace is required to reach the Ultimate Reality, and as that grace can be obtained only through Bhakti, he was expounding the other systems which promoted this Isvara-bhakti.

Ayurveda And Advaita Vedanta

http://www.dhanvantri.com/Advaita_Vedanta.htm

Extractions: Ayurveda and Advaita Vedanta Advaita could be called the beginning and the end of all healing in Ayurveda. In the Sankrit language Advaita means "not two" and Vedanta means "the end of knowledge". So one could say that Advaita Vedanta is the non-dual experience at the end of knowledge, or beyond knowledge. However, in the non-dual state there can be no experiencer and experience and so the term arises, "The Mystery beyond the mind," simply because that That that is beyond the mind cannot be conceptualized much less described by the mind. This mystery refers to the cessation of the experience of duality, the removal of separation between any two objects, the lifting of the veil of illusoryness, the drowning of individualness in the eternal ocean of Love. This Mystery is the Majesty of Saints like Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi of Tiruvannamalai, his disciple Sri H.W.L. Poonja of Lucknow, Ananda Mayi Ma of Haridwar, and Sri Nisargadatta of Bombay. By their words, their touch, their look, and mostly just by their presence these Saints enlighten their disciples. Enlighten is a word that is a gossomer vessel overflowing with sticky concepts. For lack of a better word it is used but realize that any word, any concept, and any Saint is a finger pointing to Advaita Vedanta, the Mystery Beyond the Mind.

Definition And Relevance Of Advaita Vedanta By Dr C. S Shah
advaita vedanta maintains that there is only one Reality as Absolute Consciousness. Whatis advaita vedanta then? How does it differ from qualified monism?
http://www.indianest.com/vedanta/00602.htm

Extractions: There are three main schools of thought as far as Vedanta is concerned. These are: Dualistic or Dvaita Qualified Monism or vishistha Advaita , and Advaita Vedanta or Absolute monism. All these Vedantic perceptions are true, and indicate one step higher level of Truth than the preceding one. All the three try to expound the relationship between, individual soul ( Jiva ), this world or nature ( Jagat ), and the Ruler of the universe or God ( Jagdish 1) Dualism, mainly propounded by Madhvacharya, maintains that the individual soul and the Supreme Soul are different and there cannot be unity between the two. The Ruler of this universe is creator, sustainer, and the destroyer of this universe. Nature and individual being can manifest and change, but He remains the same. Moreover, He is the repository of all good virtues. There cannot be anything defective or deficient in God. He is just all powerful, and merciful. We can get his blessings and thereby liberation or salvation from the cycle of birth and death by devotion, faith, and worship. Thus mostly, the path of dualism is path of Bhakti Yoga.

http://www.indianest.com/vedanta/00603.htm

Extractions: The contradiction can be identified as, 'Mistaking a rope for snake involves misperception and the snake is supposed to last only for the duration of its knowledge. However, the Advaita theory of perception requires the existence of the object previous to the appearance of knowledge. This is of utmost importance because if the illusory object of perception does not exist prior to its perception it could easily be considered a projection (and not perception!).' 'This is thus clearly a contradiction between Advaitic theory of perception and the Advaitic theory of knowledge. Are we to put this contradiction down to the fact that the theory of perception adopted by Advaita Vedanta is rather crude on the scientific side, or is there a way to resolving the contradiction?'
