Understanding Advaita and Dvaita Through One Story

About this episode

The episode explores the concepts of Advaita and Dvaita through a story involving Prahlada and Vishnu.

“’You said that He is indeed everywhere, so why can He not be seen in this pillar? If I do see that Vishnu right now in the middle of the pillar, then I will not kill you. Otherwise, you will be divided into two.’ Having seen (his father) in that way, Prahlada began to meditate on that Supreme Lord.” (Narasimha Purana, 44.10-11)
