Advaita Vedanta

500 Jan 1 India

Adi Shankara, the most prominent exponent of Advaita Vedānta tradition. © Raja Ravi Varma (1848–1906)

Advaita Vedānta é a tradição mais antiga existente de Vedānta, e uma das seis filosofias hindus ortodoxas (āstika) (darśana). Its history may be traced back to the start of the Common Era, but takes clear shape in the 6th-7th century CE, with the seminal works of Gaudapada, Maṇḍana Miśra, and Shankara, who is considered by tradition and Orientalist Indologists to be the most prominent exponent of the Advaita Vedānta, though the historical fame and cultural influence of Shankara grew only centuries later, particularly during the era of the Muslim invasões e consequente reinado do subcontinente indiano. A tradição viva de Advaita Vedānta nos tempos medievais foi influenciada e incorporou elementos da tradição iogue e textos como o Yoga Vasistha e o Bhagavata Purana. No século XIX, devido à interação entre as visões ocidentais e o nacionalismo indiano, Advaita passou a ser considerada como o exemplo paradigmático da espiritualidade hindu, apesar do domínio numérico da religiosidade teística de Bkakti-Oriented. Nos tempos modernos, seus pontos de vista aparecem em vários movimentos neo-vedões.
