Advaita Vedanta

===Advaita tradition===
While the term "Advaita Vedanta" in a strict sense may refer to the scholastic tradition of textual exegesis established by Shankara, "advaita" in a broader sense may refer to a broad current of advaitic thought, which incorporates advaitic elements with yogic thought and practice and other strands of Indian religiosity, such as [[Kashmir Shaivism]] and the [[Nath]] tradition.{{sfn|Madaio|2017|p=5}} The first connotation has also been called "Classical Advaita"{{sfn|Madaio|2017}}{{sfn|King|1995|p=9}} and "doctrinal Advaita,"{{sfn|Sharma|1993|p=xiv}} and its presentation as such is due to mediaeval [[Doxography|doxographies]],{{sfn|Nicholson|2010|p={{page needed|date=February 2022}}}} the influence of Orientalist Indologists like [[Paul Deussen]],{{sfn|Madaio|2017|pp=2, note 6}} and the Indian response to colonial influences, dubbed [[neo-Vedanta]] by Paul Hacker, who regarded it as a deviation from "traditional" Advaita Vedanta.{{sfn|Madaio|2017}} Yet, post-Shankara Advaita Vedanta incorporated yogic elements, such as the [[Yoga Vasistha]], and influenced other Indian traditions, and neo-Vedanta is based on this broader strand of Indian thought.{{sfn|Madaio|2017}} This broader current of thought and practice has also been called "greater Advaita Vedanta,"{{sfn|Allen|2017}} "vernacular advaita,"{{sfn|Madaio|2017}} and "experiential Advaita."{{sfn|Sharma|1993|p=xiv}} It is this broader advaitic tradition which is commonly presented as "Advaita Vedanta," though the term "advaitic" may be more apt.{{sfn|Madaio|2017}}{{refn|group=note|name=Madaio2017_umbrella}}
