Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Dear All, Following DHARMA, the nearest meaning of the word DHARMA is LAW OF NATURE, and performing rigirous and severe TAPAS, meaning Pennance and austrities mentined in the Vedas and self experience everything without blindly beliving or disbelieving, the JIVATMA, meaning the Soul and finally selfexperience the PARAMAATMA meaning the Almighty is called SELF-REALISATION.The crux of ADVAITA is BRAHMASATYAM JAGANMITYA meaning The Brahman alone is Real and the entire creation is illusion.The founder of Advaita in Kaliyuga was Acharya Gaudapada, the Guru of Aadi Sankara Bhagavatpada who defeated the Purvamimamsakas through debates and proved to the worldx that BRAHMAN does exist, which was the prime purpose of his birth.He is belived to be the Amsa of LORD SANKARA, the first among the 11 RUDRAS. But, the greatest ever and the first Advaitin was Hiranyakasipu, the Daitya and son of Diti and Prajapati Maharshi Kasyapa.
