| | Vedanta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Vedanta (Vedānta) is an important branch of Hindu philosophy and is a form of Jnana Yoga (one of the four basic yoga practices in Hinduism; the others are: Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga), a form of yoga which involves an individual seeking "the path of intellectual analysis or the discrimination of truth and reality." | | | Traditional Vedanta considered scriptural evidence, or sabdapramana, as the most authentic means of knowledge, while perception, or pratyaksa, and logical inference, or anumana, were considered to be subordinate. | | | Consistent throughout Vedanta, however, is the exhortation that ritual be eschewed in favor of the individual's quest for truth through meditation governed by a loving morality, secure in the knowledge that infinite bliss awaits the seeker. |

| | Badarayana's sutras refer to interpreters of Vedanta before him who were concerned with such central issues as the relation between the finite individual (jiva) and the absolute spirit (Brahman) and the possible bodily existence of a liberated individual. | | | The Nirvana Sutras and Advaita-Vedanta: Beneath the Illusion of Being | | | Because, according to Vedanta, only Brahman is external, the third and the fourth chapters of the second book undertake to show that nothing else is eternal. |

| | VISISTADVAITA VEDANTA HOMEPAGE |
| | In his interpretation of the Vedanta Sutras Sri Ramanuja has admirably combined the philosophy of the Upanishads with the religion of the Vedas by the proper integration of the apparently contradictory passages of the Upanishads with those of the supplementary scriptural texts to bring out the coherence and consistency of all the scriptural texts. | | | Vedanta, which reveals the Ultimate Truth, is unfortunately reduced by the Western intellect to a few simple beliefs like formless Brahman, Maya, Avidya, renunciation of the world, practice of other worldly asceticism etc. These people have a very superficial acquaintance with the profound truths of the Vedic religion and philosophy. | | | Through his magnum opus Sri Bhashya, which is his detailed commentary on the Vedanta Sutras and Vedartha Samgraha Sri Ramanuja has very ably proved that Vaishnavism is the one and only religion of the Vedas. |

| | The Vedanta is an amplification and fulfilment of the Sankhya. | | | By practice of Vedanta, one reaches the highest rung of the ladder of spirituality or the pinnacle of divine glory, oneness with the Supreme Being, by the destruction of ignorance (Avidya). | | | The Tevaram and the Tiruvachakam are the hymns of the Saiva saints of South India; the Divya-Prabandham of the Alvar or Vaishnava saints of South India; the songs of Kabir; the Abhangas of Tukaram and the Ramayana of Tulasi Das—all of which are the outpourings of great realised souls—are wonderful scriptures. |

| | But, consistent throughout Vedanta is the authoritative declaration that ritual is to be eschewed in favor of intuitional questing for truth, for meditation governed by a loving morality, secure in the knowledge that infinite bliss does await her/him who seeks beyond the mere body and mind for it. | | | The more abstruse Vedanta (meaning literally the infinite knowledge of the Vedas, ie.Vedant= Ved+Anant, Anant means infinite) is the essence of the Vedas, encapsulated in the Upanishads which are commentaries on the four original books (Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva). | | | Three branches of Vedanta exist, each branch choosing to interpret the codified scriptures in its own way. |

| | They prove by various cogent and convincing arguments that the Brahman which the Vedantic texts proclaim as the cause of the universe is an intelligent principle, and cannot be identified with the non-intelligent or insentient Pradhana from which the world originates, as declared by the Sankhyas. | | | Adhikarana I: Sutra 1 gives a hint that the book is meant for those who are endowed with a real desire for attaining the knowledge of Brahman. | | | Adhikarana III: Sutra 3 declares that Brahman is the source of the Vedas and that Brahman is known only by the study of Sruti and by no other means of knowledge. |

| | It is in the fitness of things that Jiva Gosvamin, the celebrated Vedantin of the Caitanya school says of Sri Ramanuja, "Pramita mahimnaam", [3] "as one whose glory is established." The great Appayya-diksita used the Sri-Bhashya considerably in his Sivarka-Mani-dipika and also wrote a condensation of it called Naya-mayukha-malika. | | | The Ramanuja tradition of Vedanta thus consolidated has influenced all subsequent writings on the Brahma-Sutra, not excluding the commentaries adverse to Sri Ramanuja's school of Vedanta [2]. | | | Providence destined Sri Ramanuja to accomplish the great task of elucidating the Sutras in a theistic style, asserting the metaphysical eminence of Brahman without the supplementary thesis of world-denial and the denial of the individuality of the finite selves, and promulgating knowledge of Brahman as arising from Karma-yoga and maturing in bhakti. |

| | The philosophy of non-dualism, embodying the conclusions of Vedanta, seems to have influenced to a greater or lesser degree all the philosophies and religions of India. | | | Badarayana shows that the Vedantic texts harmoniously teach Brahman as the plenary Reality, the world-ground which is of the nature of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss, which is the supreme object of meditation, and which is the final goal to be realised. | | | In the first chapter which is on Harmony (Samanvaya), Badarayana teaches that the Vedantic texts, taken as a whole, have as their purport Brahman, the non-dual Reality. |

| | The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja |
| | That the knowledge intended to be enjoined as the means of final release is of the nature of meditation, we conclude from the circumstance that the terms 'knowing' and'meditating' are seen to be used in place of each other in the earlier and later parts of Vedic texts. | | | The entire Mimamsa-satra—which begins with the Sutra 'Now therefore the enquiry into religious duty' and concludes with the Sutra '(From there is) no return on account of scriptural statement'— has, owing to the special character of the contents, a definite order of internal succession. | | | The question as to the true meaning of the Sutras is no doubt of some interest; although the interest of problems of this kind may easily be over-estimated. |

| | Vedanta-Sutras |
| | It is also known as raja yoga, "king of yogas," or ashtanga yoga, "eight-limbed yoga." Its object is to achieve, at will, the cessation of all fluctuations of consciousness, and the attainment of Self Realization. | | | - Vedanta (or Uttara "later" Mimamsa): "End (or culmination) of the Vedas." For Vedanta, the main basis is the Upanishads and Aranyakas (the "end," anta, of the Vedas), rather than the hymns and ritual portions of the Vedas. | | | It was through interpretations of this text, as well as the Upanishads themselves and the Bhagavad Gita, that later schools of Vedanta expressed and formulated their own views of the Upanishadic tenets. |

| | It remains enmeshed in that world, again and again experiencing samsara, or the series of existences, deaths, and rebirths each unenlightened soul undergoes as a consequence of its karma (its good and evil actions in past existences, which determine the form of future existences). | | | Most modern scholars, without totally rejecting the traditions, state that the Sanskrit name Vyasa ("arranger" or "collector,") has been applied to many ancient Hindu authors and compilers. | | | Through the proper knowledge of Vedanta, however, the individual soul recognizes the limitless reality forever existing behind the cosmic veil of maya, realizes that its own true nature is identical with Brahman, and through this self-realization achieves moksha (release from samsara and karma) and Nirvana. |
