Vishishtadvaita is what’s called qualified nondualism, or basically nondualism that allows for a little bit of dualism, in that differences exist between the observer and the observed.

Not to throw you in the deep end or anything, but there are a lot of very similar, though different, schools of philosophy within Hinduism. Bhedabheda, or dvaitadvaita, is another, as well as Shiva Advaita. There’s also Advaita Vedanta, which is pure nondualism, no difference between God/the universal constant and everything else.

There are also nondualist traditions in many other religions, including all three major Abrahamic faiths, and most eastern traditions. I’m way more familiar with pure nondualism than I am with qualified nondualism, but if you want any recs for YouTubers or reading, lemme know and I’ll link. :)
