摘要

This paper explores the convergence of Vedantic philosophy and modern psychology, proposing a unified approach to self-understanding and well-being. Drawing from the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and key Vedantic philosophers such as Shankaracharya and Abhinavagupta, it examines core concepts like Atman (Self), Avidya (Ignorance), and Moksha (Liberation). These are contrasted with contemporary psychological frameworks including cognitive-behavioral therapy, transpersonal psychology, and mindfulness-based interventions. By addressing existential dimensions that Western psychology often overlooks, this paper argues for a holistic mental health paradigm that integrates Vedantic self-inquiry with modern therapeutic insights. The study highlights the role of ego (Ahamkara) and its transcendence in psychological resilience, linking it with mindfulness and self-actualization practices.
