Further Divisions of Vedanta Philosophy Three major schools of Vedānta emerged through the commentaries on the Brahma Sutra by renowned philosophers: Sankaracarya’s Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism), Ramanujacarya’s Visistadvaita Vedanta (qualified non-dualism), and Madhvacharya’s Dvaita Vedanta (dualism). Each of these thinkers offered distinct interpretations of the relationship between the individual soul (atman) and the ultimate reality (Brahman), shaping the core philosophical branches within Vedanta.
