In Hindu philosophy, a school of thought asserting that God and the individual soul are eternally separate and distinct entities.
From Sanskrit 'dvai,' meaning 'two,' + '-ta,' a suffix forming nouns. Dvaita is also called 'dualism' in English, emphasizing the division of reality into two distinct substances.
Dvaita philosophy asks 'are you and God separate?' while other Hindu schools ask 'are you God?'—centuries of Indian philosophers wrestling with what that 'two' really means!
