Runs to about 305 pages, so it's the sort of book you keep on the desk rather than the nightstand – good for students, researchers and anyone curious about the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it's about\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is Brahman and how the world came into being? What is life? How is Brahman the origin of everything and what is its connection with the world and the living entities? The Vedanta sutras written by Srila Vyasadeva answer all these questions, but since the aphorisms are vague and sometimes incomprehensible, they need a commentary to be understood. The merit of this book is to present and compare the different interpretations of the most essential commentators - Adi Sankaracarya, Sripada Ramanujacarya, Sripada Nimbarkacarya, Srila Madhvacarya, Srila Baladeva Vidyabhúsana - to delineate the views of Sri Badarayana Rsi. The import of the Bhagavata Purana is also considered since Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu considered the Srimad Bhagavatam the best commentary on the Vedanta sutras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mathura Prasad Dixit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 305\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Motilal Banarsidass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e (1\/1\/2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Philosophy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs The Vedanta-Sutras and their commentaries Volume 1 available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the hardcover edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Vedanta-Sutras and their commentaries Volume 1\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote The Vedanta-Sutras and their commentaries Volume 1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vedanta-Sutras and their commentaries Volume 1 is written by Mathura Prasad Dixit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
