Vedānta means the end or culmination of the Veda, first the Upaniṣads themselves and then the philosophies built on them. Its schools share three foundational texts but differ on the relation of the self, the world and Brahman: Advaita, Viśiṣṭādvaita, Dvaita and others. Vedānta has been the dominant current of Hindu thought for over a thousand years.
