In the world of philosophy, the School of Advaita Vedanta is well known to all. The name Advaita itself is enough to introduce the doctrine of this school. It need not be introduced here in a broad way. The etymology of the word Advaita refers to a thing called ‘Brahman’ modified by the absence of Dvaita. Here the modifier does not have association with Brahman. According to the theory of Advaita Vedanta, except Brahman, everything is unreal. In this condition there comes the expectancy of a means of valid knowledge to establish the theory without any contradiction. This is the nature of all Indian Schools of Philosophy: to not accept anything without any evidence. Following the very nature of Schools of Indian Philosophy Advaita Vedanta accepts six means of knowledge. Using the means of knowledge this school of philosophy establishes its conclusion. This course is designed to make the comprehension of the epistemological and metaphysical aspects of Advaita Vedanta easy.
