advaita

• A typical instance is the fusion of the sakta imagery with the tenets of advaita. —  Kafila
• It is in this context that the devotional invocation of the cult of mother goddess (Kali or Annapurna), otherwise an accessible figure within the idiomatic realm of popular consciousness, could be transformed into a wrathful icon symbolizing power and effortlessly blended with the monist philosophy of advaita. —  Kafila
• This is the crucial moment of the turn towards advaita oneness. —  Kafila
• It is a remarkable sleight of hand that advaita demands: the folk and everyday devotional elements are used as necessary but are simultaneously and constantly being pushed to the back burner as incomplete, charged with mere materiality and sensuousness. —  Kafila
• The central democratic distinction between negotium and otium, that active life could be looked differently from a contemplative one, is worked out in an ingenious way in advaita thought, so that the agency is accepted, but only within a causally determined scheme of things. —  Kafila
