ABSTRACT
Vedānta, rooted in the Upanishads, is a profound philosophical system that explores the relationship between Ātman (the self) and Brahman (the ultimate reality), advocating for the unity of all existence. Its central teachings emphasize the dissolution of ego, transcending the illusion of duality (Māyā), and attaining liberation (Mokṣa) through knowledge, devotion, and selfless action.
    This paper explores Vedānta’s historical development, core metaphysical principles, and ethical dimensions, particularly in its major schools—Advaita, Viśiṣṭādvaita, and Dvaita. It also examines how Vedānta’s teachings address contemporary challenges such as materialism, social inequality, and environmental degradation, offering a framework for personal transformation and collective well-being. By integrating ancient wisdom with modern relevance, Vedānta provides a holistic path for spiritual and societal progress.
Keywords: Vedānta Philosophy, Ātman and Brahman, Non-duality, Mokṣa (Liberation), Philosophical Relevance of Vedānta.
