Advaita Vedanta is a school of Hindu philosophy and religious practice, and one of the classic Indian paths to spiritual realization.Advaita (Sanskrit; not-two, "no second") refers to the idea that the true Self, Atman, is the same as the highest Reality, Brahman. It gives "a unifying interpretation of the whole body of Upanishads", providing scriptural authority for the postulation of the nonduality of Atman and Brahman. Followers seek liberation/release by acquiring vidyā (knowledge) of the identity of Atman and Brahman. It emphasizes Jivanmukta, the idea that moksha (freedom, liberation) is achievable in this life.
Advaita Vedanta is the oldest extant sub-school of Vedanta – one of six schools of orthodox darśanas (philosophies, world views, teachings). The school uses concepts such as Brahman, Atman, Maya and others that are found in major Indian religious traditions, but interprets them in its own way for its theories of moksha. Advaita Vedanta traces its roots in the oldest Upanishads, with Bādarāyaṇa’s Brahma Sutra consolidating the central premises of this tradition. The principal, though not the first, exponent of the Advaita Vedanta-interpretation was Adi Shankara in the 8th century, who systematised the works of preceding philosophers.
Advaita are an Indian fusion band based in New Delhi, India that was formed in 2004.

It attracted thousand of students from all over India, including students, academia, corporates and the general public of the state. The fourth edition of Advaita is going to be held from 11 February to 14 February in the year 2016.
Events
The list of events consists of more than 30 events in which various technical, social, cultural events take place. The handsome amount of prize money for various events attracts students from all over the country. Some of the popular events taking place in the festival are listed below:
"Together" is the fourth single from the album Dying for a Heart by Krystal Meyers. Released in 2006, the song charted at No. 28 on the Christian CHR chart and No. 23 on the Christian Rock chart.
About "Together"
"Together" was used in the hour-long special airing before the third season's premiere of NBC’s hit drama, Heroes.
AllMusic awarded the album with 4.5 stars and its review by Scott Yanow states: "This interesting and one-time matchup features Larry Coryell and Emily Remler on a set of guitar duets. It is easy to tell the two players apart, yet their styles were quite complementary. Highlights of the date (which has four standards, Pat Martino's "Gerri's Blues" and two Coryell originals) include "Joy Spring", "How My Heart Sings" and "How Insensitive". The Penguin Guide review says: ""Together" delivers fulsomely, a warm, approachable album which does not lack for subtleties. Recommended".
