Achintya-Bheda-Abheda (अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद, acintyabhedābheda in IAST) is a school of Vedanta representing the philosophy of inconceivable one-ness and difference.^[1] In Sanskrit achintya means 'inconceivable',^[1] bheda translates as 'difference', and abheda translates as 'non-difference'.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486–1534 CE), the founder of Achintya Bheda Abheda school and Gaudiya Vaishnavism

The Gaudiya Vaishnava religious tradition employs the term in relation to the relationship of creation and creator (Krishna, Svayam Bhagavan),^[2]^[3] between God and his energies.^[4] It is believed that this philosophy was taught by the movement's theological founder Chaitanya Mahaprabhu^[5] (1486–1534) and differentiates the Gaudiya tradition from the other Vaishnava Sampradayas. It can be understood as an integration of the strict dualist (Dvaita) theology of Madhvacharya and the qualified monism (Vishishtadvaita) of Ramanuja.^[6]
