Review:
Advaita Vedanta (IAST Advaita Ved nta; Sanskrit is considered as the most influential sub-school of the Ved nta (literally, end or the goal of the Vedas, Sanskrit) school of Hindu philosophy. Other sub-schools of Ved nta are Dvaita and Vi isht dvaita. Advaita (literally, non-duality) is a monistic system of thought. "Advaita" refers to the identity of the Self (Atman) and the Whole (Brahman).[ The key source texts for all schools of Ved nta are the Prasthanatrayi the canonical texts consisting of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras. The first person to explicitly consolidate the principles of Advaita Vedanta was Adi Shankara,while the first historical proponent was Gaudapada, the guru of Shankara's guru Govinda Bhagavatpada. --Wikipedia
