Achintya Bhedabheda is a Vedanta doctrine taught by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as a synthesis of the teachings of all the Vaishnava sampradayas. It means "inconceivably (achintya) dualistic (bheda) and monistic (abheda)".
This central concept of Gaudiya Vaishnava Theology teaches that the absolute reality can be understood as non-dual and unmanifest (immanent brahmajyoti) and as dual (transcendent personal God). Thus it can be considered a form of panentheism. It is the philosophy followed by ISKCON (Hare Krishna movement).
