Dr. Nama A. V. chose Shankaracharya’s Advaita Siddhanta as a topic for his doctoral research. He made comparative study of Advaita Siddhanta proposed by various Indian ancient schools and contemporary philosophers, such as Shri. Vivekananda, J. Krishnamurti, Yogi Aurobindo, S. Radhakrishnan.
A conclusion of this thesis is that Shankaracharya’s Advaita philosophy is the most comprehensive thought as compared with other contemporary Indian thinkers.
