गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

Gosvāmīs, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has presented six theses, which combinedly are called Ṣaṭ-sandharbha. Of the six sandharbhas the one known as Tattva-sandharbha is a practical presentation of this doctrine and explains Vedānta-sūtra strictly according to the principles of acintya-bhedābheda-tattva. Later on, Śrī Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa took this doctgrine and explained Vedānta-sūtra strictly according to that principle of acintya-bhedābheda-tattva. His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda Introduction by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa satyaṁ jñānam anantaṁ brahma-śivādi-stutaṁ bhajad-rūpam govindaṁ tam acintyaṁ hetum adoṣaṁ namasyāmaḥ Lord Govinda is the Supreme Brahman, the absolute transcendental reality. He is transcendental knowledge. He is the original cause of all causes. He is limitless and faultless. Lord Śiva and all the demigods praise Him. The devotees worship His transcendental form. We offer our respectful obeisances unto Him. sūtrāṁśubhis tamāṁsi vyudasya vastūni yaḥ parīkṣayate sa jayati satyavataye harir anuvṛtto nata-preṣṭhaḥ All glories to Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the son of Satyavatī. Vyāsadeva is the incarnation of Lord Hari, and He is very dear to the devotees. With the effulgence of His Vedānta- sūtra He has dispelled the darkness of ignorance and revealed the truth. During the Dvāpara-yuga the Vedas were destroyed. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, responding to the prayers of Lord Brahmā and the other bewildered demigods, appeared as Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana Vyāsa, restored the Vedas, divided them into parts, and composed the Vedānta-sūtra in four chapters to explain them. This is described in the Skanda Purāṇa. At that time many fools propounded various misinterpretations of the Vedas. Some said that the highest goal of life was to act piously in order to reap the benefits of good karma. Some said that Lord Viṣṇu is Himself bound by the laws of karma. Some maintained that the fruits of good karma, such as residence in svarga (the upper material planets) were eternal. Some said the jīvas (individual living entities) and prakṛti (material energy) acted independently, without being subject to any higher power, or God. Some said the jīvas (individual living entities) are actually the Supreme Brahman (God), and that the jīvas are simply bewildered about their identity, or that the jīvas are a reflection of God, or separated fragments
