Néo-védanta

One call néo-védanta the modern form of the Védanta which, as from the XIXe century is expressed in English rather than in Sanskrit.

The main concern of this current (one cannot really speak about school), consists in making the synthesis of the three principal schools of the traditional védanta. The principal representatives of the néo-védanta are Swami Vivekananda, Shri Aurobindo and Mahadevan.

Vivekananda thinks that the three forms of the védanta are true successively. The Dualisme of Madhva represents the state of the heart still separated from God and who cannot concevoire nor carry out the identity Atman/Brahman. The qualified not-dualism of Ramanuja represents the state of the heart which was rappochée of God, but who within this proximity still established a distinction enters the two principles. The not-dualism of Shankara, higher than both others, represents the supreme state where the heart does not make any more any distinction with the Absolu. It fully carried out the sentance of the major Upanishad S: " You are Cela".

Aurobindo thinks him which the three schools of the védanta are false if it is considered them isoléement and true if one consider them simultanéement. They represent each one a state of particular balance within all the possible relationship between to be and Conscience.

Mahadevan thinks that the divergences between the multiple forms of védanta are apparent than real. They are related to the application of the concepts of continuity and discontinuity to the various analyzed orders of realities.
