Vedanta | Vibepedia

Vedanta is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, focusing on the ideas that emerged from the Upanishads, with traditions like Advaita Vedanta, led by Adi Shankara, and Vishishtadvaita, founded by Ramanuja, interpreting the Prasthānatrayī. The philosophy encompasses concepts like devotion, knowledge, and liberation, with influences from the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras. Scholars like Swami Vivekananda and Ramana Maharshi have contributed to the evolution of Vedanta, which has been discussed by Western philosophers like Aldous Huxley and Alan Watts.
