What is Brahman and how the world came into being? What is life? How is Brahman the origin of everything and what is its connection with the world and the living entities? The Vedanta-sutras written by Srila Vyasadeva answer all these questions, but since the aphorisms are vague and sometimes incomprehensible, they need a commentary to be understood. The merit of this book is to present and compare the different interpretations of the most essential commentators - Adi Sankaracarya, Sripada Ramanujacarya, Sripada Nimbarkacarya, Srila Madhvacarya, Srila Baladeva Vidyabhúsana - to delineate the views of Sri Badarayana Rsi. The import of the Bhagavata Purana is also considered since Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu considered the Srimad Bhagavatam the best commentary on the Vedanta-sutras.
