: SOAS: Philosophy of Advaita VedaÌ„nta according to MadhusuÌ„dana SarasvatiÌ„'s GuÌ„dÌ£haÌ„rthadiÌ„pikaÌ„±·¾±á¹£i»å»å³ó²¹°ì²¹°ù³¾²¹ (निषिदà¥à¤§à¤•रà¥à¤�) refers to “rituals that are forbidden in the Vedasâ€�.—Each chapter of the BhagavadgÄ«tÄ describes various aspects of the means to liberation (mukti/³¾´Ç°ìá¹£a), which is considered the highest good in VedÄnta. Åšaṃkara also holds the purpose of the BhagavadgÄ«tÄ to be the attainment of liberation, quickly declaring knowledge of the self, preceded by renunciation of all actions to be its means. The performance of disinterested actions, i.e. actions performed after renouncing its fruits (²Ô¾±á¹£kÄå³¾²¹°ì²¹°ù³¾²¹), is combined with the forsaking of both those Vedic rituals that are performed solely out of desire for some personal gain (°ìÄå³¾²â²¹°ì²¹°ù³¾²¹) and those that are forbidden in the Vedas (²Ô¾±á¹£i»å»å³ó²¹°ì²¹°ù³¾²¹).

Vedanta (वेदानà¥à¤�, vedÄnta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
