Basically, there's savikalpa, nirvikalpa and sahaja samadhi. Savikalpa and nirvikalpa are temporary. Sahaja is more or less nirvikalpa without return or interruption. In savikalpa there is still a trace of the knower-knowing-known (and thus duality) while that triad is non-existent in nirvikalpa. The mind in savikalpa may be extremely purified and one-pointed but there is still a witness experiencing something. One in nirvikalpa finds that actions and words occur spontaneously without effort, so if he tells you it's dual or non-dual - that's Brahman expressing the inexpressible through limitation. What tends to happen though is someone temporarily experiences one of these states then his vasanas pull him back out and reform as the ego. Then he is again speaking from ignorance rather than truth.
But it also depends on tradition because some treat samadhi as though you're stuck sitting there absorbed in meditation. One in nirvikalpa samadhi isn't stuck inactive in a seat, you'll still see their bodies behaving like normal. In some cases the dvaita and advaita vedantins may be describing the same thing. It's best not to get too caught up in the philosophy but to know it directly without mediation because ultimately they're describing something beyond the mind using the limited mind.

It's a myth that Viśiṣṭādvaita is a synthesis school. It predates Tattvavāda and was the first push-back against the evils of Advaita Vedānta.

Viśiṣṭādvaita is often mischaracterized as a "middle ground" between Advaita and Dvaita, but that framing collapses the actual logic of the system.
The “Advaita–Viśiṣṭādvaita–Dvaita” spectrum is a modern textbook simplification.
Rāmānuja’s interpretive method is built on the Mīmāṃsā hermeneutic tradition, the Śrī Vaiṣṇava āgamas, and a specific reading of the Upaniṣads that emphasizes samanvaya (coherent integration).
He is arguing that Advaita misreads the śruti and that his own reading is the correct Vedic one.
Viśiṣṭādvaita's concept of “difference” is unique.
Dvaita says difference is absolute. Advaita says difference is ultimately unreal.
Viśiṣṭādvaita says: difference is real, but it is dependent difference—the difference of a mode or attribute from its substance.
This is a third category that neither Advaita nor Dvaita uses. It’s not a midpoint; it’s a different ontology.
Viśiṣṭādvaita rejects the core premises of the other two systems. A synthesis would preserve the essential claims of both. Viśiṣṭādvaita does the opposite.
It rejects Advaita’s idea that the world and individual selves are ultimately unreal or illusory. It rejects Dvaita’s idea that the difference between God, souls, and matter is absolute and unbridgeable.
Instead, it asserts a body–soul relationship between the universe and Brahman. This is not found in either Advaita or Dvaita.

Agreed.
If "synthesis" bothers you semantically, then fine.
You may continue to argue if you want to be so mad.

It is truly unfortunate that such inspiration can ojnly come about from antagonism and ego.
What single word would you use to describe the three schools of vedanta, since this can so easily disturb your peace?

Anger is neutral. In real Vedanta, there's a real, transcendent ego from which purified anger flows. An ego which is completely separate from the constructions of the "I maker" principle. There's a real self behind the false one. There's an anger that leads not to degradation but to liberation.
I wouldn't describe multiple schools with one word. And there are more than three schools of Vedanta, including real synthesis schools, that bring together the best of what came before them.
I appreciate your performative sadhu schtick.

Rāmānuja set the stage for Madhvāchārya. He began to break the spell that Śaṅkarācārya had cast over people's hearts and minds. This is extremely valuable. Madhvāchārya further built on the foundational work that Rāmānuja started.

Sure, more than three. But those three are a part of the process. The salvation of humanity is not a material thing. But the materially-conditioned mind sometimes cannot take a huge leap from one paradigm to another and has to be given one or more transitional forms.

>But those three are a part of the process.
And the others not those three are nothing?
and only one process? You think everyone has to go through each philosophy?
And you said not just one word, now you can lump it all under a single process?
>The salvation of humanity is not a material thing.
You think you are human? And need saving?
Or are you saying the material condition of "human" can be removed and is somehow existing against Krishna's Will?
>But the materially-conditioned mind sometimes cannot take a huge leap from one paradigm to another and has to be given one or more transitional forms.

I personally think that the later schools are more sophisticated and profound than what Madhvācārya and Rāmānuja presented. But what those two giants did is so huge that I don't want to make it seem like I'm casting shade. Everything from Rāmānuja onwards is sufficient for salvation and is true in ways that Advaita just isn't. The differences, though meaningful, are more a question of love, relationship, and angle of vision.

They're building Babylon and interpret Satan as a savior, part of the order out of chaos faction that is actually aiding jesuits in combining all the world religions under the Catholics, notice how Biden fucks everything up intentionally day one? Like he's trying to crash the economy? Then Trump undoes SOME of it, including things that don't actually systemically matter.
Yeah they leapfrog each other and play good cop bad cop, but they're still moving society toward an authoritarian cult government that worships Satan blatantly in the end.
It will fail, because the antichrist (doing the same order out of chaos shit) will absorb their system and destroy anyone who resists, appearing to be the good guy.
The mystery religion is only helping Judaism until it builds the temple, the moment the kikes realize their messiah isn't the messiah and that they killed Christ 2,000 years ago is when shit gets nightmare bad. God's wrath immediately comes down after the antichrist desecrates the judaistic temple. Because the world is openly worshipping Satan and that's the final straw for God.
The mystery religion shit is just all world religions combined into one, this is spiritual adultery, and it's warned about with the letter to the church of thyratira, god threatens the people who haven't accepted the gospel within that church with going into the tribulation, because the paganistic traditions of men crept in with the judaizers that try to get you to follow the law to be saved, when no one can.
The cabal will most likely sell the lie that aliens took everyone in the rapture, and that's how they'll finalize their government before the antichrist takes the stage at the UN. The recent "drone" shit is a prep psyop for this, and it's the mother of all psyops that's been running for at least 100 years, since war of the worlds was first broadcast.
Believe the gospel, it's just accepting it as fact, that's how you go to heaven

No? Im not even an advaita vadin but from its very conception advaita sought to uproot the buddhist religion from bharata. Didnt you know they were fiercelly against eachother? Never ever heard of Kumarila Bhatta and his camapign against buddhists? And the buddhists werent exactly pacifists either. Fucking threw him off a cliff but he survived

Yes. By re-establisahing the validity of the Vedas.
This was all done by essentially re-packaging Buddhist monism as being taught by the Vedas.

I'm ignorant of advaita but practice Buddhism. What's the Buddhist monism that made its way into later Hinduism? You're saying there's an outflow from Buddhism to advaita vedanta? Could you please educate me on this, I am willing to learn. Also if there's anything other than "monism," which I do not recognize thus far, I'd like to know. All I know of Hinduism is the Bhagavad-Gita, and its Krishna-Brahman monism is very precious to me (i.e. monotheism)

What are you aiming at? To prove some sort of buddhist supremacy? Same buddhism that was originally a subvertion of veda? Im familiar with the teachings of the upanishad. But buddhist idea is not monism. At least not theistically. Its empty ism

>What's the Buddhist monism that made its way into later Hinduism?
Advaita. That's what Advaita means. Not two. One. Monism.
>You're saying there's an outflow from Buddhism to advaita vedanta?
I'm saying the region had mostly rejected the validity of the Vedas, and Adi brought them back by appealing to the current understanding.
>Also if there's anything other than "monism," which I do not recognize thus far, I'd like to know.
You mean like the whole thread?
>>42025771
>Christ re packaged pharisean leaven
Sort of, but He didnt have the extra steps. the whole "I came not to break law but fulfill it." The pharisee had "taken control" of God's word and corrupted it to their own exploitation. As the brahmins had done with the Vedas.
Jesus broke their control, and re-established understanding in one swoop.
In India, the path had more steps. The process you mentioned before, though you keep desperately wanting to disagree with me.
>At least not theistically. Its empty ism
Agreed.
And Advaita went "no no, not a big empty blackness, but a big full whiteness."
>What are you aiming at? To prove some sort of buddhist supremacy?
lol, of course not.

Okay I'm wondering if what you mean is that the common Buddhist understanding was appealed to when advaita made headways in those regions?

Yes, thought not in a sychophantic way. It wasnt "hey Buddhists, you are right and the Vedas say so." It was "Buddhists say the Vedas are wrong for these facts/musings/conclusions, but the Vedas agree with those, and the Buddhist arguments are still refuted."
>are you suggesting emptiness is the Monad (in Buddhism)?
I dont think any Buddhist would agree with that conceptualization, and would try to remove the very notion of singleness as well, but yes.

Ok the AI (very sad) says Buddhist non-dualism was assimilated into Vedanta conception of a non-dual Brahman. I think your error was to gloss the Buddhist influence as "monist" due to your conception of Brahman as One. But the actual influence was from Buddhist arguments of non-dualism and not-that. Thanks anyway. Please learn to teach. It's very rare anyone says anything that can influence me, but you failed to teach, and I think that's the whole point, I had to ask Grok.

>>42026037
>Buddhist monism" was appealed to and adopted by advaita vedanta.
Yes. Advaita used monism as an end run around Buddhist arguments to defeat them and reestablish the Vedas.
>>42026114
>your conception of Brahman as One
What, exactly, do you think my conception is?
Because this is a very limited and ineffective understanding of Brahman.
>Buddhist arguments of non-dualism
So...monism.
Oh you are OP and get autistic on your version of annotations.
That makes everything align.
>It's very rare anyone says anything that can influence me
Yes, as I said goading you has been incredibly effective.
Though it always seems to end up with you having to agree with me.
You can go.back to spamming your pics I til I need to explain it some more.

Is Abhinavagupta too non-dual/monist for you Dvaita Vedanta nerds?
I personally dont like advaita vedanta or any form of vedanta school (besides Avadhuta Gita/Avadhuta sect).

The good thing about dvaita and advaita is that both, in their most profound teachings, understand that the Absolute is beyond duality and non-duality.
I go with advaita because of the natural course of my practices, it starts rather difficult, but with time and practice, we start to abide in the eternal Now.

My thoughts are that dvaita vedanta sounds like in agava davida.

This doesn't look like happiness. It looks like stillness.

I don’t hate ISKCONnites. I just don’t see the point of treating late-medieval Purāṇas as authoritative or getting involved in bhakti practices. No personal god is going to save you, you know? Bhāgavata and the Harivaṃśa are late, sectarian texts, and even some of the bhakti portions of the Gītā were added later. It has nothing to do with the Vedas or the Upanishads, and it leads only to futher living in cope and illusion.
