Vedānta

School of Hindu philosophy that developed the teachings of the Upanishads. One of its teachers was Samkara, who lived in southern India in the 8th century AD and is generally regarded as a manifestation of Shiva. He taught that there is only one reality, Brahman, and that knowledge of Brahman leads finally to moksha, or liberation from reincarnation.
