: Google Books: µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ« and ³Õ¾±±¹²¹°ł²¹į¹a Schools of Advaita VedÄntaThe µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ«, as it is well known, is the name of the Commentary written by VÄcaspati MiÅra on the µž°ł²¹³ó³¾²¹²õÅ«³Ł°ł²¹-ÅÄåį¹ k²¹°ł²¹-²ś³óÄåį¹£y²¹, while the ±Ź²¹Ć±³¦²¹±čÄå»å¾±°ģÄå-³Õ¾±±¹²¹°ł²¹į¹a, also known as the ³Õ¾±±¹²¹°ł²¹į¹a, is the Commentary written by PrakÄÅÄtman on the ±Ź²¹Ć±³¦²¹±čÄå»å¾±°ģÄå which itself is another Commentary on the µž°ł²¹³ó³¾²¹²õÅ«³Ł°ł²¹-ÅÄåį¹ k²¹°ł²¹-²ś³óÄåį¹£y²¹ written by PadmapÄda, a close disciple of Åaį¹ kara.
The µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ« and the ³Õ¾±±¹²¹°ł²¹į¹a assumed so much importance in the realm of Advaita VedÄnta that the very trend of Advaita philosophy was given a new direction with their advent. So influential were they that each one came to be known eventually as an independent school of thought. Hence the appellations µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ«-PrasthÄna and ³Õ¾±±¹²¹°ł²¹į¹a-PrasthÄna by which they are respectively known today in philosophical circles.

Tradition holds that he was so engrossed in his scholarly endeavours that he paid no attention to his household responsibilities. Throughout this period his wife, µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ«, served him dutifully without making any demands on his time. In recognition of her silent contribution, he named his magnum opus after her. The µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ« has been an influential text with many sub-commentaries having appeared over the centuries. Together with its sub-commentaries, the µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ« forms a distinct intellectual current within Advaita-Vedanta, known as the µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ« school.

Vedanta (ą¤µą„ą¤¦ą¤¾ą¤Øą„ą¤�, 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).
General definition (in Hinduism)
: WikiPedia: HinduismBhamati is a subschool of Advaita Vedanta. It's name is derived from Vachaspati Misra's commentary on Adi Shankara's Brahmasutra Bhashya.
Origins: According to Mithila folklore, µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ« was the wife of Vachaspati Mishra. While Vachaspati Mishra was writing his commentary, his wife µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ŁÄ« served him without any expectations for years. He was so busy that he had forgotten that he had a wife. After completing his work when he finished writing, he asked Bhamti, "Who are you?" She replied, "I am your wife". Vachaspati Mishra was shocked by his own neglect of his wife, that he named his commentary after her.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled ą¤øą¤ą¤øą„ą¤ą„ą¤¤ą¤®ą„� (²õ²¹į¹s°ģį¹t²¹³¾), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
