Written Works and Commentaries

Some of the books written by Rambhadracharya

Jagadguru Rambhadracharya has written many important commentaries and reviews on ancient texts.

Sanskrit Commentaries on the Prasthānatrayī

The Prasthanatrayi is a group of three very important Hindu sacred books: the Brahma Sutra, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Upanishads. Rambhadracharya wrote Sanskrit commentaries (explanations) for these books. He called his commentaries Śrīrāghavakṛpābhāṣyam. These were released in 1998 by the Prime Minister of India at that time, Atal Behari Vajpayee.

Rambhadracharya brought back the tradition of writing Sanskrit commentaries on the Prasthanatrayi after 500 years. His commentary was the first one written in almost 600 years for the Ramananda Sampradaya (a Hindu tradition).
