The Concept of Dvaita Vedanta in Indian Philosophy

Description: Dvaita Vedanta is one of the three main schools of Vedanta philosophy in Hinduism. It was propounded by Madhvacharya in the 13th century. Dvaita Vedanta posits that the universe is composed of two distinct realities: Brahman (God) and jiva (individual soul). Brahman is the supreme reality, the creator and sustainer of the universe. Jiva is a part of Brahman, but it is distinct from Brahman. The goal of human life is to attain moksha, which is liberation from the cycle of birth and death and union with Brahman.
