Hi,
Unlike user devotee, I would suggest that you do NOT jump into any threads online.
To understand the intricacies of our various darshanas, it is a much better idea to become familiar with the basics using a physical book. Get a hold of a good translation of the Samkhyakarika to understand the intricacies of Samkhya. Once you understand Samkhya, you will be well prepared on the basis Advaita builds its metaphysics on.
Also, get a hold of Shankara's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita and his Brahmasutrabhasya.
All of the books mentioned above are available at a very reasonable price here.
Namaste Vipranarayanan,
Please go through the blog I have written below
http://hindudharmaforums.com/entry.p...within-Advaita.
Also for a better understanding of Advaita Vedanta please read the book Introduction to Vedanta by Dayananda Saraswati.
He introduces the subject in a beautiful way. There are many videos of his as well on youtube.
Just know that terms with in Sankhya and Yoga philosophy is used in all Darshanas of Hindu Dharma.
Thanks to patrons "devotee", "wundermonk" and "Sriram257" for valuable and woderful replies. I will religiously go through the suggestions by them .
Thanks again,
Vipranarayanan
I would say the basis as far as my exposure with people practicing in that path is non-duality. But I can't say I have spent a lot of time exploring it and going indepth. I am sure it is multi-dimensioned and a lot of content is drawn out about the non-dual experience.
