advaita-vāda

the doctrine of non-dualism, monism; the doctrine that emphasizes the absolute oneness of the living entities with God. This is often equated with the Māyāvāda theory that everything is ultimately one; that there is no distinction whatsoever between the Supreme Absolute and the individual living entities; that the Supreme is devoid of form, personality, qualities, and activities; and that perfection is to merge oneself into the all-pervading impersonal Brahman. This doctrine was propagated by Śrī Śaṅkarācārya
