Shankracharya and Advaita Philosophy

 Shankaracharya was an early 8th century Indian philosopher who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta. It is a Hindu philosophy which focuses on Brahman, atman, vidya (knowledge), avidya (ignorance), may karma and moksha. It refers to the idea that the soul or Amman is the same as Brahman. It has roots in the oldest Upanishads.

The classical Advaita philosophy of EaEkara recognizes a unity in multiplicity, identity between individual and pure consciousness, and the experienced world as having no existence apart from Brahman.

Advuita Vedanta is a school of Hindu philosophy and spiritual experience. The term Advaita refers to the idea that Brahman alone, pure consciousness, is ultimately real, the phenomenal transient world is an illusory appearance (maya) of Brahman, and the true self, atman, which is self-luminous pure awareness, is identical with Brahman. In this view, jivanatman or individual self is a mere reflection of singular Amman in a multitude of apparent individual bodies.
