Vedānta Darśana

Vedānta is the family of schools that interpret the 'end of the Vedas' — the Upaniṣads, Brahma Sūtras and Bhagavad Gītā (the Prasthānatrayī). From a shared canon it branches into non-dualist, qualified-non-dualist and dualist readings of the relation between self, world and the absolute (brahman).
