Vedanta is one of the six orthodox schools of Indian philosophy. Different schools within Vedanta offer various interpretations of the Upanishads, Brahma Sutras, and Bhagavad Gita. Advaita emphasizes non-dualism (oneness of Atman and Brahman), while Dvaita emphasizes dualism (distinction between God and individual souls).
