You’ve heard of Plato, Confucius, and Kant. But what about Bādarāyaṇa? He wrote one of the most influential texts in human history—the Vedānta-Sūtra—yet historians know almost nothing about his life. Did he even exist as a single person? Or is “Bādarāyaṇa” actually a code name for an entire school of thought?
In this lecture, we peel back the layers of this 5th-century CE mystery. We explore a text so compressed that a three-word sentence can unlock the secrets of the universe—or remain completely incomprehensible. Join us as we investigate the man (or the myth) who turned the ancient Upaniṣads into a rigorous system of logic, challenged the power of Vedic rituals, and left a philosophical puzzle that scholars are still trying to solve today.
