Vedanta in Malayalam
അദ്വൈതമതം (adwaithamatham) names the doctrine of non-duality, the school holding that the individual self and the absolute are one, and Malayalam writing uses it where English says Vedanta or monism. The first element means non-dual, the second doctrine or creed. അദ്വൈതവാദി (adwaithavadi) is the person who holds that doctrine.
The doctrine of non-duality, Vedanta, unitarianism, the doctrine that paramatma and jeevatma are one and the same, monism.
ശങ്കരാചാര്യർ നാടുനീളെ അദ്വൈതമതം പ്രചരിപ്പിച്ചു.
shankaraachaaryar naaduneele adwaithamatham pracharippichu.
Shankaracharya spread the doctrine of non-duality throughout the land.
All Malayalam words for “vedanta”
- അദ്വൈതമതം (adwaithamatham) — The doctrine of non-duality, Vedanta, unitarianism, the doctrine that paramatma and jeevatma are one and the same, monism.
- അദ്വൈതവാദി (adwaithavadi) — Follower of Vedanta or Monism, sophist, monist.
Strictly this is Advaita, one school within Vedanta; the dictionary equates them because Advaita is what Vedanta usually means in Malayalam usage, but a text about the other Vedantic schools needs the broader term.
