Whether the absolute foundation of reality is personal or impersonal is an age-old debate, and nowhere has this debate been had in great depth than in the Vedanta tradition of India. In this video, Padmanabha Swami explains the radical personalism found in some schools of Hinduism, explains different sorts of Advaita Vedanta (impersonalism and what he calls radical impersonalism), and gives some arguments against radical impersonalism.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Swāmī has written hundreds of articles in both languages. For the past twenty years, he has traveled around the world and lectured in universities, āśramas, and yoga studios. Most of his numerous talks and seminars are available online.
