Dvaita Vedanta

Dvaita Vedanta is a philosophical tradition within Hinduism that teaches a dualistic view of reality, where God (Vishnu or Krishna) and individual souls (jivas) are distinct and separate. Unlike other schools that see the self and the divine as unified, Dvaita emphasizes that every soul is inherently different from God and depends on Him for liberation. It affirms the eternal difference between the divine and the individual, advocating devotion and surrender as the path to realizing this relationship. In essence, Dvaita upholds a clear distinction between the Creator and His creation, emphasizing respectful devotion and dependence.
