Скачать или смотреть The Three Acharyas: Guiding Lights of Vedanta

India’s spiritual wealth has been illuminated by three towering Gurus who gave us three unique perspectives on understanding the self and the Divine:

🕉️ Adi Shankaracharya – Advaita (Non-Dualism)
Born in Kerala, he became a monk early in life.

Travelled across Bharat to restore and unify Hindu philosophy.

Taught Advaita Vedanta — that the Atman and Brahman are one.

Wrote brilliant commentaries on Upanishads, Gita, and Brahma Sutras.

Founded four Mathas in the four corners of India.

Saw Devi as the divine power behind creation.

His teachings point toward inner freedom through knowledge.

🌺 Ramanujacharya – Vishishtadvaita (Qualified Non-Dualism)
He taught that the Atman is always connected to the Paramatman, yet distinct.

Devotion and loving surrender lead to true union with God.

Wrote commentaries including the Sri Bhashya.

Protected temple worship and Vedic rituals.

Broke social barriers, welcoming all into the spiritual fold.

Unity with diversity—God, soul, and universe are real and divine.

🌿 Madhvacharya – Dvaita (Dualism)
Born in Udupi, Karnataka; a brilliant philosopher and monk.

Taught that God and soul are eternally different.

Souls are dependent, while God is independent.

Emphasized Bhakti with clarity and logic in Tatvavada.

Installed the Krishna idol in Udupi and established the mathas.

His works like Anu Vyakhyana and Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya are revered.
