He succintly manages to summarise all the key points that will unfold in his Brahma Sutra Bhashyam, and connects them to the central underlying theme. Shankara's adhyAsa bhASyam fully serves the purpose of an introduction. They are simply outpourings from anubhava, or experience, of an enlightened sage, and which appeal to that sArvatrika-anubhava, or universal experience, that belongs to each and every one of us. His astonishing introduction to his Brahma Sutra Bhashyam (BSB), often called the adhyAsa bhASyam, is, in my view, one of the greatest texts written on vedanta, and holds the status for me of a Sruti.įor in it, we find no quotation from other shastra in this introduction to support his statements. In these sub- commentaries (of which the so-called bhAmati and vivaraNa schools are most recognised), the authors profess to be elaborating on shankara's system of advaita, and clearly identify shankara as the author of the bhASyam. This is evidenced by the fact that the genesis of post shankara schools arises from sub-commentaries on primarily his brahma sutra bhASyam. Whilst there is doubt regarding authorship of some of the works attributed to shankara, there is universal agreement in the tradition that the bhAsyam on brahma sUtram was compsed by Adi Shankaracharya. Of commentaries on the Brahma Sutram, Shankara's commentary stands pre-eminent in elaborating advaita vedanta according to his tradition, or sampradaya. Sutras are annexed and so does the Sanskrit Text of the Brahma Sutras at the end.īrahma Sutra Bhashya adhyAsa Bhashyam shankaram shankarAchAryam keshavam bAdarAyaNam SUtrabASykrtau vande bhagavantau punah punaha SrutismrtipurANAnAm Alayam karuNAlayam NamAmi bhagavdpAdam shankaram lokashankaram SUtrabhASyapraNetArau vedAntAbjaprabhAkaru Vande parasparAtmAnau bAdarAyaNashankaru Introduction In the canon of vedanta litarature, the Brahma Sutram occupies a unique position as the oldest systematic commentary on the Upanishads.

Philosophy brahma-sutras adi-shankaracharya. Does Adi Shankaracharya equate Brahman with the causal body.
