What is Advaita Vedanta

Advaita Vedanta originates in the remarkable insights first described in the Upanishads more than 3000 years ago. It is a spiritual vision of reality endorsed by philosophers, mystics and sages across time. And not only sages, anyone who looks into this shining wisdom will quickly come to sense its mature, authentic vision.

Why am I here? What is life for? Questions such as these fascinate most people at times, often resulting in a spiritual search. Such a journey inwards is profoundly met by the timeless stability found in these teachings. Perhaps at first the knowledge it reveals may seem obscure but this is an appearance only. Like any great principle in nature the essence of Vedanta can be captured in a single sentence – All this is divine and I am one with that very same divinity. 

Advaita is not a religion yet it easily invokes a devotional flavour, as this wonder of existence become ever tangible. The more we sense the purity of our own nature, the closer the oneness of  divinity feels.

What is Advaita? The word itself means not two, oneness. The Upanishads are the original source of this non-duality wisdom in the world. Coming to know and feel this truth of oneness in yourself is called  Self-realisation. Embodying this reality fully is enlightenment.
