Q. The doctrine of Advaita advocated that:
Answer: God is Unique
Notes: The doctrine of Advaita, or non-dualism, was advocated by Adi Shankaracharya. The doctrine states that there is no difference between the individual soul and Brahman, or the Supreme God. Shankara believed that the soul merges with Brahman and that liberation is achieved through self-realization. Shankara was born in Kerala in the eighth century. He was a prominent Hindu philosopher who started a Hindu revivalist movement in the ninth century. However, his doctrines were too abstract for the general public to understand. Advaita is a school of Hinduism. All Vedanta schools state that Brahman is both the efficient and material cause of all existence.
