Bhedābheda names a family of Vedānta views older than Advaita, holding that the relation between Brahman and the world or the self is one of both difference and identity, like that of the sea and its waves. Among its teachers were Bhāskara and Nimbārka. Caitanya’s school developed it as inconceivable difference-and-non-difference.
