Vedānta-sūtra is the ultimate knowledge of the Vedas. Vedic knowledge is very elevated, having issued forth from Mahā-Viṣṇu, the Supreme Godhead, at the time of creation. The Vedānta-sūtras are extremely recondite and esoteric, and are thus accessible to ordinary human intelligence only in the context of a commentary. The natural commentary on Vedānta-sūtra is the Bhagavata-Purāṇa or Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, written by the same author, Śrīla Kṛṣṇa-dvaipāyana Vyāsadeva, Himself recognized as an incarnation of God in the Vedic literature. The theistic commentary of Baladeva is included, along with additional comments by the author to bring the timeless wisdom of Vedānta-sūtra to bear on issues of contemporary importance. Trade paperback, 8.5 x 11", three volumes, 868 pages, perfect bound, illustrations.
