Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The BRAHMAS TRA of B DAR YA A represents the fundamental text of exegesis of Ved nta. The intent of B dar ya a - the sage that for authority and realization of consciousness has been identified with Vy sa, the i who ordered the texts of the Vedas - is that of providing the right perspective in the interpretation of the most profound and meaningful contents of the Upani ads. This had proven necessary in order to rectify some unilateral aspects propounded by several schools of thought, both orthodox and non-orthodox. The Brahmas tra presents, in their simplicity and incisiveness, the assertions of the ruti and of the Sm ti, showing their concordance in the recognition of the Nirgu a Brahman as the ultimate Realty. In his notes, RAPHAEL underlines the fact that B dar ya a does not oppose the various philosophical schools, but the i allows us to comprehend that their postulates cannot represent the ultimate Truth as expounded in the Vedas and in the Upani ads. Moreover, at times Raphael focuses on certain aspects of the Advaita Doctrine with references to the Western Tradition, and - making the relevant parallels to the philosophy of Parmenides, Plato, Plotinus, and so on - highlights the unity of the sole universal Tradition at the metaphysical level."
