Assignment:

As Vaughn discusses in World Religions (pp. 87-90), a major issue in Hinduism is the relation of Brahman and Atman. Some Hindus have a monist perspective on this, others a dualist one. How do these differ, and how do the excerpts from the Upanishads (pp.103-104) and Shankara's commentary on them (pp. 108-109) reflect monism? How do the excerpts from Bhagavad-Gita (pp. 105-107) and Puranas (pp. 110-112) reflect dualism? What is the significance of the distinction of monism and dualism when it comes to Hindu religious practices, such as the various forms of Bhakti?
