Advaita Vedānta

Non-dualistic Hindu philosophy teaching that individual consciousness (Atman) and ultimate reality (Brahman) are fundamentally identical. Advaita means 'not-two,' emphasizing that apparent separation between self and divine is illusion (maya) overcome through direct realization of one's true nature. This path combines scriptural study, philosophical inquiry, and meditative practice to recognize the Self as pure consciousness beyond all limitations. Modern Advaita continues attracting seekers through its radical message of inherent enlightenment requiring only removal of false identification with body-mind.
