Advaita

There are three main schools that explain the relation between universe and Brahman. 

  1. One is āramba vada, which says universe has a beginning and an end. Nyāya and Vaisesica follow this. 
  2. The other schools hold that universe is eternal, its dissolution and next cycle of creation are linked with the continuity of the seed of creation. The second school is Parināma Vāda, which says that the universe is a transformation of Brahman, emerges and dissolves in Brahman. The way a spider’s web comes from it, the universe comes from Brahman. Brahman is the essential substantial (upādana) cause for the universe.Śānkhya, Yoga, Karma Mimāmsa follow this. 
  3. The third is Vivarta vāda, which says that universe is a manifestation, an appearance over Brahman. Śankara Advaita comes under this.
