	Vedanta Sutra and the Vedanta by Dr. Subhash C. Sharma
		Badarayana (around 400 B.C.), through his sutra (which could be under development for a long time even before Badarayana compiled it finally), attempts to systematize this wisdom of the Upanisads in a consistent whole.
		Thus even when Badarayana formulated his Sutra, there were differences of opinion in interpreting the Upanisads on such central topics as the characteristics of the released soul and the relation of the individual soul to Brahman.
		Badarayana holds that Brahman is in the individual soul, though the nature of Brahman is not touched by the character of the soul.

	Brahma-Sutras
		In the first chapter which is on Harmony (Samanvaya), Badarayana teaches that the Vedantic texts, taken as a whole, have as their purport Brahman, the non-dual Reality.
		Badarayana shows that the Vedantic texts harmoniously teach Brahman as the plenary Reality, the world-ground which is of the nature of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss, which is the supreme object of meditation, and which is the final goal to be realised.
		Badarayana shows that this view is not sound because God would then become limited and finite.

	brahma-sUtra
		There is a tradition of thought that says that all scholars named by bAdarAyaNa were in fact his own disciples and that he has immortalized them through the medium of his sUtra-s, by referring to their contributions in interpreting difficult propositions, while supporting or modifying their views in his final conclusions.
		It might be argued that at least one text has had spurious insertions made into it to apparently refer to the other, and that it is thus unnecessary to posit that the authors of the two are the same.
		According to AnandatIrtha and the other commentators, bAdarAyaNa condensed and classified the veda-s which were limitless in extent and difficult to understand by persons of severely limited intellectual capacities, into small divisions and sub-divisions, so that each individual could study one part; and he composed the brahma-sUtra-s for their correct interpretation.

	BADARAYANA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		We know nothing about Badarayana and it is difficult to establish the exact dates of his life.
		Badarayana’s first sutra (“athato brahma-jijnasa”) is like a paraphrase of the first sutra of Jaimini’s work (“athato dharma-jijnasa”).
		Badarayana’s work enjoyed great respect among the Vedantists, almost equal to the Shruti, because it was more than once commented upon in whole or in fragments by philosophers of various schools of Vedanta.

		This is one of the objections considered and rebutted in the Brahma Sutras by Badarayana.
		Badarayana aphorises, "Partiality and cruelty are not there in God owing to His consideration of other factors, for the Vedas so show".
		Badarayana answers, "This is logical and it is met with in the scriptures".

	Badarayana
		Badarayana is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		The latter text, by Badarayana (ca 400 bce), is the earliest known systematization of Vedanta, but its extremely terse aphorisms are philosophically illusive without commentary.
		The Vedanta Sutras (or Brahma Sutras) were composed by Rishi Badarayana (ca 400 bce).

	Brahma Sutras
		As such, it is clear that the Brahma-sUtra was written at a time when the six schools in general, and vedAnta in particular, were already widely known, and discourse among their scholars had already developed to a very great degree.
		According to AnandatIrtha and the other commentators, BAdarAyaNa condensed and classified the VedAs, which were limitless in extent and difficult to understand by persons of severely limited intellectual capacities, into small divisions and sub-divisions, so that each individual could study one part; and he composed the Brahma-sUtra-s for their correct interpretation.
		Considering that the two are seen in the mImAmsa-sUtra and the Brahma-sUtra to have apparently conflicting opinions in some cases, it would seem that Jaimini may have been an independent mImAmsaka scholar before meeting BAdarAyaNa; he presumably lost to the latter in debate and became his student, as was the common practice of the day.

		The distinction between the karmakANDa and the jnAnakANDa is clear in the minds of both Jaimini and Badarayana, the two important sUtrakAras, and their respective commentators.
		Jaimini thinks only dvijas are so entitled, which is the traditional position, whereas Badarayana thinks all men and women, the whole genus, is entitled - a fairly revolutionary position.
		As followers of Badarayana, all Vedantins are, to a large extent, uttara mImAmSakas.

	Re: The Tao of Krishna consciousness
		Badarayana Rsi has clearly established in Brahma-sutras that the way that Hari operates is beyond the reasoning faculty.
		But this theology is refuted by Badarayana Rsi himself in Vedanta (2.2.43 to 46), where he clear denies saktis' theory completely.
		But, again Badarayana Rsi explains in Vedanta that this theology is a concoction, as no one is fit to understand Hari's 'modus operandi', or the way He sports His lilas.

	Badarayana
		Sri Sudarsana Suri considers the Samavidhana passage in the beginning of his Srutaprakasika and declares that there were two Badarayanas, one of whom was the same as Vedavyasa.
		Badarayana as a teacher is mentioned in numerous texts, and many of the views cited therein do not occur in the Brahmasutras.
		For instance, in Shloka Varttika on Mimamsasutra 1.1.5 (which mentions Badarayana), Kumarila Bhatta states the view to be that of Veda Vyasa, which indicates that he equated Veda Vyasa with Badarayana.

		So bAdarAyaNa's objective was to iron out the contradictions and present the central teaching in an organized form.
		That Sankara and sureSvara explained the upanishadic teaching better than bAdarAyaNa was also explicitly said by madhusUdana sarasvatI, a 16th century advaita writer.
		Curiously enough, given that bAdarAyaNa's intention was to present the central teaching of the upanishads, if Sankara did a better job than bAdarAyaNa in doing so, it follows that the teachings of bAdarAyaNa and Sankara are not all that different from each other.

	Relation to the "Mimamsa-sutras" (from Indian philosophy) -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online ...
		Just as the Mimamsa-sutra traditions of Badari's tradition were revived by Prabhakara, a 7th–8th-century scholar, and Jaimini's defended by Sabara and Kumarila, a 7th–8th-century scholar, Baharayana's sutras laid the basis for the development of Vedanta philosophy.
		Badarayana approves of the Mimamsa view that the relation between words and their significations is eternal.
		The overall difference that emerges is that whereas Jaimini lays stress on the ritualistic parts of the Vedas, Badarayana lays stress on the philosophical portions—i.e., the Upanisads.

	The Structure and Meaning of Badarayana's Brahma Sutras (A Translation and Analysis of Adhyaya I)
		In the Brahma Sutras of Badarayana, we find what is perhaps the most influential work in the history of Hindu theology, given that the Brahma Sutras served as the basis for the theologies of all major Hindu theologians, including Sankara, Ramanuja, Nimbarka, Vallabha, and Madhva.
		Unfortunately, our access to Badarayana's work has been through the biased commentaries of these scetarian theologians, who often interpret the Brahma Sutras to support their own theological positions.
		In this work Dr. Adams examines the first of the Brahma Sutras' four sections in an attempt to identify their original meaning and the theology that Badarayana attempted to express Dr. Adams also offers a readable translation that provides the reader with greater insight into the cryptic Sanskrit aphorisms composed by Badarayana.

	Brahma Sutras : the Nyaya Pasthana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In this chapter Sri Badarayana goes about to clearly establish that the basic purport of all Upanishads is to reveal Brahman.
		In most of the places where the Sruti has used words like Brahman or Atma there are no problems, but in some texts some other words which are not commonly used for Brahman are also used.
		So we have commentaries by Bhaskara, Ramanuja, Madhava, Vallabha, Vigyanabhikshu etc. They may differ with Sankara on moot points, but all of them are knowingly or unknowingly influenced by Sankara’s commentary which has been accepted as ‘the’ model.
