Brahma sutras

Book • 1999
The Brahma Sutras, also known as the Vedanta Sutras, are a Sanskrit text that synthesizes and harmonizes the diverse ideas and practices from the Upanishads.

Swami Sivananda's commentary provides a detailed exposition of the text, which is divided into four chapters (Adhyayas) and sixteen sections (Padas).

The text addresses the nature of the Supreme Brahman, the individual soul, and the universe, and it refutes other philosophical schools such as Samkhya.

The commentary includes word-by-word meanings, running translations, and summaries of the different Adhikaranas, making it a comprehensive guide for students of Vedanta philosophy.

The primary goal of the Brahma Sutras is to remove the erroneous identification of the soul with the body and to guide the reader towards the attainment of final emancipation through the knowledge of Brahman.
