The five great Acharyas: Sri Sankara the exponent of Kevala
Advaita or uncom promising monism, Sri Ramanuja the exponent of
Visishtadvaita or qualified monism, Sri Nimbarka the exponent of
Bhedabheda-vada, Sri Madhva the ex ponent of strict Dvaitism or
Dvaita-vada and Sri Vallabha the exponent of Suddhadvaita-vada or
pure monism agree that Brahman is the cause of this world and that
knowledge of Brahman leads to Moksha or the final emancipation,
which is the goal of life.
They also emphatically declared that Brah -
man can be known only through the scriptures and not through mere
reasoning. But they dif fer amongst them selves as to the nature of this Brah man.
