Sri Bhasya
The Sri Bhasya is the most famous work of Sri Ramanuja, (1017–1137). It is his
commentary on Bodhayana's Vedanta Sutra. It was completed when he was around a hundred
years old. Here Ramanuja presents the fundamental philosophical principles of Visistadvaita based on his interpretation of the
Upanisads, Bhagavad-gita and other smrti texts, the
previous acaryas, and of course the Vedanta-sutra itself. This is done by way of refuting Sankara's advaita-vedanta and in
particular his theory of maya. In his Sri-bhasya he describes the three categories of reality (tattvas): God, soul and matter,
which have been used by the later Vaisnava theologians including Madhva. The principles of bhakti as a means to liberation
(moksa) were also developed.
