vedanta

Instead of Vedanta we have the same mysticism, where all the deities are morphed into the one.

There is a school of thought called Vedanta that I learned about from reading Alan Watts.

Rather, I prefer the more direct Advaita Vedanta approach: quickly smother it with napalm.

Hi HN, I’ve been working on a series of short philosophical talks exploring the nondual traditions of Advaita Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism.

I can highly recommend A Parthasarathy's Vedanta Treatise if you are interested further.

Source: Studied Vedanta for three years under A.

I was reading a bit too much Vedanta recently and thought it might be interesting to give an atheistic twist to the idea of Krishna.

The problem is thinking that the only valid alternative is that there is no creator and everything is just random (the opposite extreme.) Look into other philosophies like advaita vedanta, buddhism, or progressive science like another commenter mentioned about nassim haramein.

However, it has a very good condensation of the teachings of various hindu philosophical schools which can be understood with comparatively less study than the Vedas, the Vedanta and other bodies of knowledge.

I enjoy reading eastern texts, as artifacts of brilliant thought, also interesting in context of our development towards AI, where we still don't have satisfying theory for consciousness (that Vedanta calls atman).

Over the years, I became more and more interested, not only in meditation, but in Eastern philosophy, and studied everything from Vedanta to Zen to Yoga to Tibetan Buddhism.

Rather than attempt to understand Buddhism as if it exists in a vacuum, studying the wider Hindu philosophy that it developed from and especially Nondualism and Vedanta will likely help you understand what Siddhartha was trying to convey.

Vedanta which literally means "end of knowledge or final knowledge" primarily are in the Upanishad texts.

Vedanta, which is rather mediocre "systematization" of Upanishads has been profoundly summarized by Ramakrishna - "Wanna see God?

Advaita Vedanta (also known as nondualism) has been called the "cream of the Vedas." Zen is more like skim milk (also nutritous but not as tasty).

This, in turn, resulted in emergence of Upanishads as thinking people got sick with all that nonsense, and from the Upanishads the Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism schools has been developed (and got ruined by "commentators").

Alan Watts, a professor, graduate school dean and research fellow of Harvard University, drew heavily on the insights of Vedanta.

Salinger embraced Zen only to give it up later in life to pick up Advaita Vedanta.

Its a technical term used in Indian sciences which you can commonly find in Vedanta, Patanjalayoga, Upanishads and so on.
