At the other end is dualism, dvaita\u2014exemplified by Madhva and the early P\u0101\u015bupatas\u2014which teaches two or more separate realities. In between are views describing reality as one and yet not one, dvaita-advaita, such as Ramanuja\u2019s Vaish\u1e47ava Ved\u0101nta and Srikantha\u2019s \u015aaiva Vi\u015bish\u1e6d\u0101dvaita. Hindu philosophy consists of many schools of Vedic and \u0100gamic thought, including the six classical dar\u015banas\u2014Ny\u0101ya, Vai\u015beshika, S\u0101\u1e47khya, Yoga, M\u012bm\u0101\u1e41s\u0101 and Ved\u0101nta. Each theology expresses the quest for God and is influenced by the myth, mystery and cultural syncretism of contemporary, tribal, shamanic Hinduism alive in every village in every age. India also produced views, called n\u0101stika, that reject the Vedas and are thus not part of Hinduism, such as Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Ch\u0101rv\u0101ka materialistic atheism. The Vedas state, \u201cTheologians ask: What is the cause? Is it Brahm\u0101? Whence are we born? Whereby do we live? And on what are we established?\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are the Many Hindu Philosophies? \u015aLOKA 141From time immemorial, India\u2019s sages and philosophers have pondered the nature of reality.
