HSF5007 - (MAH/PHD Course) As the name, Introduction to Dvaita, Advaita, and Viśiṣṭādvaita Systems of Vedānta suggests, this course introduces students to the three major systems of Vedānta—Dvaita, Advaita, and Viśiṣṭādvaita—each offering distinct metaphysical insights into the nature of reality, the self, and the divine. Students will gain a clear understanding of the core principles, similarities, and differences across these systems, while also appreciating their coherence as a continuum of thought rather than as mutually exclusive positions. The course addresses both traditional interpretations and contemporary academic perspectives, clarifying common misunderstandings and misrepresentations. By engaging critically with classical texts and Indological scholarship, students will cultivate the ability to articulate Vedāntic ideas with clarity and apply them to the challenges of modern life, fostering balance and deeper self-understanding.
