Ved?nta-S?tras, Part 2 of 3

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. Vedânta-Sûtras Part 2 (1896) is volume XXXVIII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, also known as Brahma Sutras, is in three parts and focuses on Hinduism. Part 2 contains aphoristic verses or sutras which define ultimate reality in the universe known as Brahman. Translated from Sanskrit by Thibaut, this volume and others in the series are a must-read for those who desire a deeper understanding of Hinduism.
