Vedartha Sangraha of Sri Ramanujacarya

Sri Ramanuja wrote nine works in Sanskrit on the philosophy of Visistadvaita. Of these, the Vedartha-Sangraha occupies a unique place inasmuch as the work takes the place of a commentary on the Upanisads. The work mirrors a total vision of the Upanisads, discussing all the controversial texts in a relevant, coherent manner. It is in fact an independent exposition of the philosophy of the Upanisads. Prof. M. Hiriyanna describes it as ‘an independent treatise explaining in a masterly way his philosophic position, and pointing out the basis for it in the Upanisads’.
