Neo-Advaita

Neo-Advaita is a modern spiritual movement that emphasizes the direct realization of one’s true nature or "self" as non-dual, meaning everything is interconnected and there is no separate self. It often simplifies traditional Advaita Vedanta teachings into the idea that enlightenment can be instantly recognized through insight, without ongoing practices or rituals. Neo-Advaita encourages a focus on present-moment awareness and seeing beyond illusions of separateness, promoting the idea that liberation is already here and simply needs to be realized. It has gained popularity for its accessible approach, though it sometimes faces criticism for oversimplifying complex spiritual traditions.
