Dvaita means 'two'. Advaita means the opposite one ie 'no two'.
Vedanta is veda antha - it means 'extreme of knowledge'.
Those who think that Almighty, the supreme soul ie paramatma
and individual soul ie jeevatma are different and cannot be united in any situation. This is dvaita. But according to advaita philosophy, only one soul ie paramatma which is having a tendency to multiply itself into so many individual souls ie jeevatma. Thus it has immense intelligence to play the hide and seek game. After getting bored with the game finally the individual soul finds the right way to get freedom from its bondage which has been made by its own willingness. This is advaita philosophy.
The definition of Advaita Vedanta is non-dualism or monism, the doctrine that declares that there is only one reality, that the individual Self and the Brahman are classed as one.

Advaita Vedanta, a non-dual philosophical system, was primarily developed by the Indian philosopher Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century CE. He synthesized various aspects of the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and other texts to articulate his teachings on the nature of reality and the self. Shankaracharya emphasized the idea that the individual soul (Atman) and the ultimate reality (Brahman) are fundamentally one and the same. His commentaries and teachings significantly shaped the course of Vedantic thought in India.
Advaita Vedanta as propounded by the mystic and philosopher Sankaracarya, positing a relative ( vyaviharika ) perception of reality that obscures the non-dual truth.
The thinkers of Vedanta developed philosophical texts and commentaries aimed at understanding the nature of existence, the self, and the ultimate reality (Brahman). They sought to articulate the principles of non-dualism (Advaita) and the path to self-realization through practices such as meditation, self-inquiry, and devotion to God.
Advaita Vedanta is primarily attributed to Adi Shankaracharya, an 8th-century Indian philosopher and theologian. His teachings emphasized the concept of non-duality and the ultimate identity of the individual soul (Atman) with the universal consciousness (Brahman).
Advaita Ashrama was created in 1899.
