Advaita Vedanta (IAST Advaita Vedānta; Tamil: அத்வைதம்; Sanskrit अद्वैत वेदान्त; IPA: [əd̪ʋait̪ə ʋeːd̪ɑːnt̪ə]) is a sub-school of the Vedānta (literally, end or the goal of the Vedas, Sanskrit) school of Hindu philosophy. Other major sub-schools of Vedānta are Dvaita and Viśishṭādvaita. Advaita (literally, non-duality) is a monistic system of thought. "Advaita" refers to the identity of the Self (Atman) and the Whole (Brahman). The key source texts for all schools of Vedānta are the Prasthanatrayi—the canonical texts consisting of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras. The first person to explicitly consolidate the principles of Advaita Vedanta was Adi Shankara, while the first historical proponent was Gaudapada, the guru of Shankara's guru Govinda Bhagavatpada. Advaita takes its heart from Tamil Shaiva Siddhantha From Wikipedia under the

Yes, that is historical evidence that a man named Jesus lived and died as a result of a crucifixion. It is about two lines long in a huge Roman text of archives of all of the executions carried out by the Romans. The Jews also kept records of the census, which point that a man with the same name and approximately the same age as Jesus lived and died. However.. Jesus was a very common name, so it could have been any person named Jesus that this happened to. This also is not "proof" that Jesus is the son of God, or Christ. YES, he existed. But that doesn't mean he was who he said he was, or even that the Jesus that existed (and there were several..same as there are tons of men named John that exist today.) is the same one written about in… [cont.] Answered by priestessyemaya - Sat Aug 2 18:38:04 2008 Amazing thought? What do you think.?
Q. According to the Indian philosophy "Advaita- Vedanta" which in the West is called "Nonduality", the world is just an illusion and is not real. Thoughts arise which "create" our world. We constantly think and rethink our habitual thoughts, thus creating and recreating the same kind of events or circumstances. This process reinforces our thoughts, which help to preserve the same "world" we believe live in. By changing the tape or film, that is by looking at a different scenario - different thoughts, we create a different "reality". For us it is a reality, though in fact it is just a dream we call "reality". By changing our thoughts and mental pictures, we change our "Reality"; we change the "illusory" world we believe we live in. We are… [cont.] Asked by Royce - Fri Dec 14 00:23:03 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is some merit to this thought. Depak Chopra touches on this in some of his talks. A Course in Miracles also talks somewhat in these terms. I think we make much of our own reality by how we perceive things. There are just some things tho that no matter how one thinks about it, it's just the way it is for all of us. So, No, I don't think the events in our lives are an illusion. I do think how we perceive them can make the circumstances very different. Answered by Lacey G - Fri Dec 14 00:29:01 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Advaita Vedanta"
