Advaita Vedanta philosophy is based on the interpretation of Vedanta by Adi Shankaracharya. Advaita Vedanta is a philosophy of oneness of all creation (matter as well as conciousness). Advaita means monism or non-dualism. Advaita Vedanta provides complete unified theory for everything in the universe.

According to Advaita Vedanta, everything inanimate or animate is nothing but Brahman. Brahman is the absolute reality and there is no other reality but Brahman. Brahman alone exists.

According to Shankaracharya :

Brahman satyam jagan mithya
Jeevo Brahmaiva Naparh

Brahman alone is truth, the world is unreal [impermanent and changing]. The individual soul [atman] is Brahman only and none other.”
