Comparative Ved─Бntic Exegesis
Git─Б J├▒─Бna bridges the four primary Ved─Бntic schools of thought, illuminating how each master unlocks the sacred dialogue:
Advaita Ved─Бnta
Sri Shankaracharya, Madhusudana SaraswatiFocuses on non-duality. Karma yoga purifies the mind (*Citta-┼Ыuddhi*), paving the way for Self-knowledge (*J├▒─Бna*) which directly dispels ignorance and dissolves the illusion of duality.
Vi┼Ыiс╣гс╣н─Бdvaita
Sri Ramanujacharya, VenkatanathaEmphasizes qualified non-dualism and divine loving devotion (*Bhakti*). The individual self (*J─лva*) and cosmos (*Jagat*) form the body of Supreme Narayana, attained through total surrender (*┼Ъaraс╣З─Бgati*).
Dvaita Ved─Бnta
Sri Madhavacharya, Sri JayatirthaMaintains an absolute, eternal five-fold difference (*Pa├▒ca-bheda*) between the Supreme Lord (*Brahman*), individual souls (*J─лvas*), and matter. Liberation is attained through the uncaused grace of Vishnu.
┼Ъuddh─Бdvaita
Sri Vallabhacharya, Sridhara SwamiExpounds pure non-dualism untainted by Maya. Everything is Brahman in manifested and unmanifested states; spiritual life culminates in spontaneous ecstatic devotion (*Puс╣гс╣нi-m─Бrga*).
