Vedānta-sūtra is the ultimate knowledge of the Vedas. Vedic knowledge is very elevated, having issued forth from Mahā-Viṣṇu, the Supreme Godhead, at the time of creation. The Vedānta-sūtras are extremely recondite and esoteric, and are thus accessible to ordinary human intelligence only in the context of a commentary. The natural commentary on Vedānta-sūtra is the Bhagavata-Purāṇa or Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, written by the same author, Śrīla Kṛṣṇa-dvaipāyana Vyāsadeva, Himself recognized as an incarnation of God in the Vedic literature. Volume 2 of the great Vedic classic.

Vedanta sutras contain the highest form of Vedic knowledge in a very short concise form. This book provides a detailed explanation of sutras in easy to understand language. The extended commentary brings the work into relevance for contemporary issues. A lot of supporting quotations are provided from a variety of Vedic literature to expand upon and prove the point. This book and the Adhyaya 1 were my first purchase from Lulu. Naturally I was a little unsure about on-demand printing. Let me just say that from the beginning to end it was a wonderful experience. It is a large book, with a most beautiful cover. Inside the paper and print quality is excellent. The font size and the ink darkness is good. I was very happy with the way Lulu.com handled the ordered. I particularly liked the PayPal payment option and MediaMail shipping option. The books were first packed in a thin foam jacket and then in a custom fit cardboard wrap-around. Very nice. In my particular case, it took them only 5... More > business days to get the book to my hand by media mail, can't beat that. I have just ordered the last book in the set, Adhyayas 3&4 and I can't wait to get it in my hand!< Less
"Vedic Knowledge" http://www.bhagavad-gita.us/articles/664/1/The-Bhagavad-Gita-In-Audio/Page1.html The bhagavad gita in audio! If you're interested you can listen to it the concepts are described in this book also. Its much easier to listen to it then read the book. The secret of all secrets is reviled to Arguna. Knowledge is free according to Krishna and its up to you to use it! My humbles respects of the great master's of the world who have taught humanity this great science which is eternal!
