Sanatana Dharma - Aka Hinduism (1st Bin)

[HareKrishna]

There is something incorect in the scheme from above.
Vaishnava and shaiva dont follow only the dvaita philosophy but also vishishta-advaita,advaita,dvaita-advaita and bheda-abheda depending one each particlar school.

Advaita (proposed by Shankara) mean that there is only Brahman whitout atributes (hence is impersonal)and the creation is inseparable from Brahman(the Absolute).
Vishishta-advaita(by Ramanuja) mean that Brahman has atributes(hence is personal) and the creation is inseparable from Brahman(the Absolute).
Dvaita(by Madhva) mean that Brahman has atributes(personal) and creation is separated from Brahman though totaly dependent on Brahman.
Dvaita-advaita mean that Brahman is both the same and different from the creation in the same time.
Bheda-abheda(by Chaitanya )mean that Brahman is both the same and different from the creation in the same time depending of the point of view you look.Also Brahman is both personal(whit atributes) and impersonal(whitout) in the same time.


Also an intersting clasification is by the goal that each hindu want to reach.
There are:
1-material goals-money,health,glory-this goals are pursued by charvakas,some tantrics,some folk hindus.
2-eternal goal of non-activity and lack of atributes(non-difference)-is pursued by buddhists,smartas(advaita, Shankara),some vaishnavas and shaivas,some tantrics.
3-eternal goal of activity and the infinity of atributes in action meaning a life in the i nfinit joyful heaven of Brahman-Bhagavan-is pursued by most of vaishnavas and some shaivas(though the goal of devoted bhaktis is not the eternal happiness but having total love for Bhagavan).
