Preface

Srimad Ānandathērtha was a 12th century saint who re-established the Vēdānta doctrine of 'tatvavāda', the doctrine based on realism and theism. His 'tatvavāda' philosophy is mostly famous as 'Dvaita', the Dualistic Vēdānta. He is usually referred to as Madhvāchārya, however his signature in many of his writings refers to him as "Srimad Ānandathērtha Bhagavad Pādāchārya".

Brahmasūtra Anu-Bhāshya summarizes Brahma Sūtra of Bādarāyana Vyāsa is 32 verses with 4 chapters. The central concept in each 'adhikarna' of Brahma Sūtra is stated in one word. The work is suitable for daily recitation with high poetic value. Thus, it serves the combined purpose of grasping the summary of Brahma Sūtras, recollecting each adhikarna for those who have mastered brahma sutra, and is also ideal for daily recitation.
