<strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong>: <strong>What</strong> <strong>Really</strong> Happened <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> – M. M. N<strong>in</strong>an<br />

Chapter Thirteen<br />

HINDU PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEMS<br />

The various philosophical Systems <strong>in</strong> <strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong> arose <strong>in</strong> the<br />

eighth centuary <strong>in</strong> an attempt to revive H<strong>in</strong>du Sanadhana<br />

Dharma. We discuss the major philosophical systems from<br />

which we can see parallels with the theological systems of the<br />

rest of Christian world. In particular the doctr<strong>in</strong>e of Vishista<br />

Advaita corresponds exactly with the doctr<strong>in</strong>es of Eastern<br />

Churches.<br />

We discuss:<br />

Advaita – Maya Vada<br />

Visihta Advaita – Modified Monism<br />

Dvaita – Dualistic Theism<br />

Charvaka – Materialism<br />
