(George) 1848 1914 Thibaut, George Frederick William Ramanuja 1017 1137 The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja Sacred Books of the East, Volume 48 Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Bhashya "The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja" by G. Thibaut and Ramanuja is a scholarly text that delves into Indian philosophy and theology, likely written in the early 20th century. The book presents a translation of the "Vedanta-Sutras," which are foundational texts in Vedantic philosophy, accompanied by Ramanuja’s commentary that offers a theistic interpretation of these aphorisms. The work aims to elucidate complex philosophical concepts related to Brahman, the ultimate reality in Hinduism, and covers the interplay between knowledge, works, and liberation from the cycle of life and death. At the start of the text, the introduction sets the stage for the intricate discussions to come, highlighting the significance of Ramanuja's commentary as a means to understand the true meaning of the Sutras. The opening makes clear that the enquiry into Brahman is a critical aspect of Vedanta, distinguishing the limitations of mere works from the expansive fruits of spiritual knowledge. Ramanuja's commentary begins with a prayer for divine guidance and introduces foundational concepts such as the importance of understanding the nature of works and the ultimate pursuit of spiritual liberation through knowledge of Brahman. This philosophical framework suggests a rigorous exploration of the text that promises to engage readers in deep intellectual and spiritual inquiries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
