 | | The Trimurti or Hindu triad of gods: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. | | | Brahma combines with Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer of evil, to make up the Trimurti, the three aspects of Brahman, the supreme being, acting in the world. | | | These were fervent Brahmins, the bitterest foes of Buddhism, their deities being Vishnu, the solar god, Shiva, the divine impersonation of natural forces, and Brahma, the supreme ruler of priests and legislators. |

| | Hatha Yoga Pradipika - Yoga Sutra - Gherand Samhita | | | The cryptic aphorisms of the Vedanta Sutras are open to a variety of interpretations, resulting in the formation of numerous Vedanta schools, each interpreting the texts in its own way and producing its own sub-commentaries claiming to be faithful to the original. | | | Consistent throughout Vedanta, however, is the exhortation that ritual be eschewed in favor of the individual's quest for truth through meditation governed by a loving morality, secure in the knowledge that infinite bliss awaits the seeker. |

| | VNN Editorial - The Brahma Sutras Of Badarayana |
| | Bhagavad-gita tells us that God has divine nature and he is not subject to the influence of prakrti gunas (material nature) like the jiva is. Therefore I see plainly from the scriptures that God is always nirguna (transcendental), whether he is in his unexpressed form (Brahman) or he is in an incarnation (Krsna/the avatars). | | | Sutra 1.1.15 states that the scripture of joy (Taittiriya Upanisad) also celebrates Brahman as being joyful. | | | I believe that the section of the sutras referred to and the comments of Adi Sankara you mentioned are not fully representative of the Sutras themselves or Sankara's position. |

| | Providence destined Sri Ramanuja to accomplish the great task of elucidating the Sutras in a theistic style, asserting the metaphysical eminence of Brahman without the supplementary thesis of world-denial and the denial of the individuality of the finite selves, and promulgating knowledge of Brahman as arising from Karma-yoga and maturing in bhakti. | | | Sri Yamunacarya seems to have yearned for a competent and adequate commentary on the Sutras integrating all these doctrinal and spiritual points of view. | | | They seem to have felt that the Brahma-Sutra, while affirming Brahman, does not negate the reality of the world, nor identify the individual spirit with the absolute so wholly, and the way to blessedness is knowledge that springs from Karma-yoga and matures into upasana or devotional meditation. |
