Ramanuja's Commentary on the Brahma Sutras

Ramanuja's Commentary on the Brahma Sutras offers a detailed philosophical interpretation of the foundational texts of Vedanta, emphasizing qualified non-dualism (Vishishtadvaita). He argues that the ultimate reality, Brahman, is both infinite and characterized by qualities, including a personal aspect as God. Unlike strict non-dualism, Ramanuja asserts that individual souls and the universe are real and distinctly connected to Brahman. His commentary clarifies subtle points about the nature of God, soul, and universe, harmonizing devotional love with rational understanding, and providing an accessible framework for spiritual practice and philosophical inquiry within Vedanta.
