|BA=Bhedabheda{{efn|The realistic stance of Bhedabheda probably predates Shankara's Advaita. The Brahma Sutras may reflect a Bhedabheda-perspective. See Nicholson (2010)}}
4th century CE

|AV=Advaita
(Shankara,
Gaudapada)
5th-8th century CE{{efn|Shankara (8th c.) is considered to be the principal spokesman of the Advaita Vedanta tradition, but synthesized existing Vedanta-views. See Advaita Vedanta#Between Brahma Sutras and Shankara; Nakamura (1950) p.678-679}}

|VA=Vishishtadvaita
(Ramanuja)
11th century CE

|DV=Dvaita
(Madhva)
13th century CE

|NV=Neo-Vedanta{{efn|Neo-Vedanta is a modern interpretation of Vedanta, with a liberal attitude toward the Vedas; see King (2001). It may also be regarded as a modern form of Bhedabheda, since it reconciles dualism and non-dualism; see Sooklal (1993) Nicholas F. Gier (2013) p.268-269: "Ramakrsna, Swami Vivekananda, and Aurobindo (I also include M.K. Gandhi) have been labeled "neo-Vedantists," a philosophy that rejects the Advaitins' claim that the world is illusory. Aurobindo, in his The Life Divine, declares that he has moved from Sankara's "universal illusionism" to his own "universal realism" (2005: 432), defined as metaphysical realism in the European philosophical sense of the term."}}
(Vivekananda & Radhakrishnan)
19th century CE}}
