Abstract

This research facilitates a dialogue between Jungian psychology and Advaita Ved膩nta, a Hinduspiritual tradition focused on freedom from bondage through knowledge of the Self. Inpreparation for knowledge of the Self, Ved膩nta requires emotional maturity through inquiry,values, and devotional practices such as karma-yoga and bhakti-yoga. However, traditionalpractices of Ved膩nta may overlook the significance of the unconscious in psychological health.Jungian psychology鈥檚 exploration of the unconscious, through dream analysis and activeimagination, could offer a way to address this gap. Further, Jungian methods aim to facilitate arelationship with the Jungian Self, akin to the relationship with the Ved膩ntic Lord, 莫艣vara.Through a hermeneutic analysis of both traditions, this study explores whether Jungian dreamanalysis and active imagination might be considered a practice of emotional maturity anddevotion in the Advaita Ved膩nta tradition. The findings suggest that imaginal practices can beunderstood as means of emotional maturity and devotion in Ved膩nta. At the same time, Ved膩nticmethodologies offer distinctive approaches to psychological growth and point to an ontologicalreality that extends beyond the scope of psychology. This study furthers cross-cultural dialogueand demonstrates that both traditions have unique and complementary roles in supporting holisticgrowth.
