A Jivan Mukta or Jeevan Mukta is someone who, in the Advaita Vedanta philosophy of Hinduism, has gained and assimilated self-knowledge, thus is liberated with an inner sense of freedom while living. The state is the aim of moksha in Advaita Vedanta, Yoga and other schools of Hinduism, and it is referred to as jivanmukti (Self-realization).
Jivanmukti contrasts with the concept of videhamukti; the latter means "liberation or emancipation after death, in afterlife".
