    Hello, these are three different philosophical views, basically dealing with the realtionship between God (Brahman), living entity (jiva) and the world (jagat).

    *Dvaita (dualism): Brahman, jiva and jagat are three separate realities.
    *Vishistadvaita (qualified monism): Jiva and jagat are real, but dependent parts of Brahman.
    *Advaita (monism): Jiva and jagat are unreal when compared to Brahman (the ultimate truth). In other words, the ultimate truth is the non-dual, all pervasive Brahman/Pure Consciousness. Jiva and jagat are mere appearences, produced on Brahman by it's veiling power called "Maya".
    Brahman is the real, permanent and changeless substratum for the changing, unreal phenomena.
    Jiva is not an independent, individual entity separated from Brahman, but appears to be so due to sharira trayam (three bodies) which is a product of maya and ultimately illusory.

    Hope it helps.

    Hello.,

    This was asked earlier and here is one liner

    Dvaita - TattvaVada - Dependant and independent are two reals! ( among three substances, Jiva, Jada and Iswara or God). Ishwara alone is independant always and jiva and jada are dependant on Iswara eternally
    VishistAdvaita - Jiva, Jada are body parts to body Ishwara - Jiva and Jada being capable of experiencing Ishwara through this body-body part relationship are in Oneness - Oneness on the basis of Qualification and potential to experience the Same!
    Advaita - There is only one Substance and that alone is real - You are That! Everything else are neither real nor un real!

    Hare Krshna!

    Here I will give you a link to one of the conversations that was a long time ago: http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/sho...053#post100053

    In these posts starting from post #18 I did not give definitions of the terms Dvaita, Visistadvaita, Advaita, but I explained the basic difference between Advaita and Vaishnava systems of philosophy. I hope it will help you to understand.



    regards
