In Hinduism

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

: The Annals of the Research Project Center for the Comparative Study of Logic: A Study of R膩m膩nuja鈥檚 Theology

痴颈艣颈峁ａ弓腻诲惫补颈迟补 (啶掂た啶多た啶粪啶熰ぞ啶︵啶掂啶�) or 痴颈艣颈峁ａ弓腻诲惫补颈迟补惫腻诲补 refers to 鈥渜ualified monisim鈥�, according to Koki Ishimoto in his paper, A Study of R膩m膩nuja鈥檚 Theology : Three Aspects of vi艣i峁ａ弓atva of Brahman.鈥擱膩m膩nuja (1017-1137) is known as a philosopher who tried to harmonize the Ved膩nta philosophy with Vai峁ａ箛ava theology. In later times his theory came to be called 惫颈艣颈峁ａ弓腻诲惫补颈迟补-惫腻诲补 鈥榪ualified monisim鈥�, since, in his view, Brahman is supposed to be qualified by three real factors: specifiers or differentiators (惫颈艣别峁), auspicious qualities (办补濒测腻峁嘺驳耻峁嘺), and a twofold body (艣补谤墨谤补, spiritual and physical).

context information

Vaishnava (啶掂啶粪啶｀さ, vai峁ａ箛ava) or vaishnavism (vai峁ａ箛avism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (鈥榯en avatars of Vishnu鈥�).

General definition (in Hinduism)

: Google Books: Kanchipuram: Land of Legends, Saints and Temples

Vi艣i峁ａ弓a Advaita (exalted monotheism) proclaims that God is the central reality of soul (cit) and matter (acit) and neither can exist without Him. This means that whatever exists is contained within God Himself.

: WikiPedia: Hinduism

痴颈艣颈峁ａ弓腻诲惫补颈迟补 Ved膩nta is a sub-school of the Vedanta (literally, end or the goal of knowledge, Sanskrit) school of Hindu philosophy, the other major sub-schools of Ved膩nta being Advaita, Dvaita, and Achintya-Bheda-Abheda. VishishtAdvaita (literally "Advaita with uniqueness; qualifications") is a non-dualistic school of Vedanta philosophy. It is non-dualism of the qualified whole, in which Brahman alone exists, but is characterised by multiplicity. It can be described as qualified monism or qualified nondualism or attributive monism.

The Vishishtadvaitic thought is considered to have existed for a long time, and it is surmised that the earliest works are no longer available.

There are three key principles of Vishishtadvaita:

Tattva: The knowledge of the 3 real entities namely,
1. jiva (living souls; the sentient);
2. ajiva (the insentient) and
3. Ishvara (Vishnu-Narayana or Parahbrahman, creator and controller of the world).
Hita: The means of realization, as through Bhakti (devotion) and Prapatti (self-surrender).
Purushartha: The goal to be attained, as moksha or liberation from bondage.
