In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Vyavahārin (व्यवहारिन्) refers to “those engaged in worldly life”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Happy he stands, happy he sits, happy sleeps and happy he comes and goes. Happy he speaks, and happy he eats. Such is the life of a man at peace. He who of his very nature feels no unhappiness in his daily life (vyavahārin) like worldly people [svabhāvādyasya naivārtirlokavadvyavahāriṇaḥ], remains undisturbed like a great lake, all sorrow gone. [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
India history and geography
Vyavahārin.—(EI 19, 24, 28, 29; BL; LL; HD), an ad- ministrator; sometimes explained as ‘a controlling officer’; same as Vyavahārika. Cf. Ep. Ind., Vol. XVIII, pp. 60, 63. (LL), a merchant. See also Vyava. Note: vyavahārin is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
