The Bhagavad Gita by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

So to sum up, the Brahma Sutras refer to Bhagavad Gita, a text that refers back to the Brahma Sutras! Note that the translator says 'Vedanta-Sutras', an alternate name for the Brahma Sutras, but in any case the Sanskrit says 'Brahma Sutras'. It is especially presented in Vedānta-sūtra with all reasoning as to cause and effect. That knowledge of the ﬁeld of activities and of the knower of activities is described by various sages in various Vedic writings. In another chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says this: So this suggests that the Bhagavad Gita is older than the Brahma Sutra Bhashya. This is confirmed in both Adi Shankaracharya's commentary the Brahmasutra Bhashya and in Ramanujacharya's commentary the Sri Bhashya. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind. The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. (The Bhagavad Gita is a part of the Mahabharata, which is a Smriti text.) In any case, that Sutra is clearly referring to this verse of the Bhagavad Gita: Note that the parenthetical mention of 'Gita' was added by the translator the Sanskrit just says 'api smaryate' or 'thus it is stated in the Smriti'. My question is about Sutra 45, which refers to the Bhagavad Gita. This follows from the words of the mantras also.Īnd this is also stated in the Smriti (Gita). (The individual souls are) parts of God because of the mention that they are different, also because some read otherwise of (Brahman’s) identity with fishermen, slaves, gamblers and others. In any case, near the end of the Adhyaya 2 Pada 3 of the Brahma Sutras, Vyasa says this: You can read the Brahma Sutras here they consist of concise sayings that people often consider hard to understand without a commentary. H.The most popular school of Hindu philosophy is the Vedanta school, which bases its tenets on the doctrines laid out in the Brahma Sutras, a work by Vyasa which summarizes and systematizes the philosophical teachings of the Upanishads.
