FAQ About Ramanuja

Ramanuja's Vishishtadvaita Vedanta differs from other Vedantic schools primarily through its unique reconciliation of unity and diversity in Brahman. Unlike Advaita Vedanta, which asserts a monistic view that denies any ultimate diversity (with the phenomena world considered as maya), Vishishtadvaita acknowledges both the reality of individual souls and the universe, describing them as attributes of the same singular Brahman. This school incorporates devotion and personal relationship with Brahman, which is distinct from dualistic and monistic interpretations.
