Brahma Sutra
by Bhadarayana
by Bhadarayana
| He begins his great book Brahman Sutra with this sentence: "Now the inquiry into the ultimate." That's how all the sutra in the East begin, always with "now ...athato," never otherwise. --Osho Books I Have Loved |
Badarayana, the reputed author, is also
identified with Vyasa (the author of the
Mahabharata) though others think these are two
separate men.
Brahma Sutra is a collection of 555 aphorisms in
4 chapters. It's date is unknown, guesses going
from about 200 BCE to 400 CE, nearly 6
centuries later.
Written originally in Sanskrit, and translated into
English by S. Radhakrishna (with a lot of
commentary and notes) in 1960.
