Tattvavāda

Tattvavāda is a philosophical school of thought in Indian philosophy, particularly associated with the tradition of Vaishnavism. It emphasizes the idea of 'truth' or 'reality' (tattva) and focuses on understanding the nature of existence, the universe, and the divine. Tattvavāda posits that there is a fundamental difference between the ultimate reality (Brahman or God) and the individual soul (Atman), advocating that true knowledge leads to realizing the divine's nature and achieving liberation. This perspective often contrasts with other philosophical schools that may see reality as a single, unified whole.
