Vedas 17 - Advaita Vedanta Comments

hey, geeta! it's been a while since i visited, and i see a lot of material to catch up on! as i look at the whole of what you say here (passing on sankara's understanding) , i relate this to the difference between material reality—that which our senses can grasp and which is encompassed in creation, that which is bounded by space and time—and all that is of the eternal God. it strikes me that the two traditions, vedantic and biblical, are quite similar. hoping you are well, glen

My sincere thanks to you, Geeta ji, for taking us along this wonderful spiritual journey. The world is a creation of ‘Maya'! A world of pluralities, varieties A power that leads us astray

According to Sankara's Advaita's Vedanta, Brahman is the only reality or the absolute truth whereas the world that we adore so much and attached to is in fact 'An illusion or falsehood'. To absorb it through spiritual practice and experience is essential to comprehend this philosophy but we can have an idea- to begin with.

Beautiful work of art, deeply detailed with good choice of words, and exquisite care in execution. A beautiful philosophical reflection. Thanks for sharing my friend.

Hi Geeta, The philosophy of ADWAITA of Jagadguru Adi Sankara is the most important Indian theory of theology that has happened after the Vedas. The basic premise of this philosophy os, as you have mentioned, Brahma Satyam, Jagan Mithya, meaning, there is only one truth, that is Brahma. The world we see is just a Maya, a reflection of the ultimate truth. The word ADWAITA means exactly this, “SINGULARITY”. You have expressed the theory of ADWAITA with thorough clarity... Nice work.10++++

Geeta, another interesting write. One cannot help but think universal thoughts are in each mind and not the mind of others. We teach ourselves from our own minds.++10
