The Western philosophers mostly of the Sankhya school have less aquaintance with the Vedanta Darshan and philosophers like Kant, Mill, Aristotle or Schopenhauer etc all belong to either of the above five Darshans except Vedanta because limited human thinking power cannot go beyond that stage. But Vedanta Darshan is far beyond the limited mental speculation of the human brain conditioned by material nature. Unfortunately Sankara who belonged to the Mayavada school made a misinterpretation of the Vedanta for his own purpose to convert the Buddhists in India.

The last named Vedanta Darshan was compiled by Sri Vyasa after a thorough refutation of all other five Darshans and therefore Vedanta is accepted by all Indian scholars and no body is recognized as bona fide who has no interpretation of this Vedanta Darshan.

The Ramakrishna mission although it does not come out of the above six schools of philosophers generally they prefer to call themselves as Sankarites or belonging to the Mayavada school. Interpretations of Vedanta made by them are neither Mayavada nor Sattatwa. They have their own interpretation different from the Vyasa school of philosophers.

Other Acharyas such as Ramanuja, Madhva etc and lately Sri Chaitanya - all belong to the original Vedantist school by direct disciplic succession.

According to these Acharyas Bhagawat Gita and Sreemad Bhagwat are, in their original stand, the real commentaries of the Vedanta Sutras. The Mayavadins who do not actually belong to the Vedanta school have overcast a cloud unnecessarily over the Bhagwat Gita and therefore common people are misled by them. In other words they have no entrance in the Vedanta Darshan so to say.
