Life Divine in the Theistic Theologies of Hinduism
Keywords:
Philosophy, Ramanuja, Theistic Philosophy, Qualified Dualism, Life DivineAbstract
Ramanuja's philosophical theological position is known as Qualified (or modified Non-dualism (Visispiidvaita). This is the view that ultimate
reality (the personal God Brahman) is a unity but within the unity there are qualifications or distinctions. God (Brahman) is qualified by the plurality of souls (atmans) and the phenomenal world which together constitute the body (Sarira) of God. There is identity as well as difference between
God, the souls, and the world.
