Advaitin Principles: As a Counselling for Multicultural Integration
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Vedanta Philosophy is recognised as one of the greatest philosophical traditions worldwide. Considering either as a religion or as a philosophy, the practise of Advaita principles can always be the guaranteed consolation to the critical issues of disintegration as the core concept of Advaita Vedanta is “non-dualism”. It cannot be the case that there is no diversity in the world. The question generally arises; can we reach any sort of consensus to solve the issue of plurality on name, caste, creed, culture? Multiculturalism is a social policy to conquer cultural and religious diversities.The aim of this paper is to analyse, how the advaitin principles of non-duality can be applied as a counselling for multicultural integration. The Multicultural approach can lead a united society annihilating diversity. So, it is significant to understand how multicultural aptitude can be developed in the mind of people in general. But to understand multiculturalism as a response to cultural diversity, one needs to revive one’s own inner divinity. Certain philosophical counselling may become helpful for such self-realisation in a person. So, an attempt is made here to study the advaitin principles as a counselling for multiculturalism.
