Q3. What are Brahma Sutras?
The Brahma Sutra, also known as Vedanta Sutra, is a principal Vedic literature that is considered the essence of all knowledge. Maharshi Badrayana Vyasa, the literary incarnation of Lord Hari, wrote the Brahma Sutra to clearly present the final message of all the Vedas and Upanishads. Brahma Sutra consists of 555 Sanskrit verses compiled in four chapters. These verses refute all the misconceptions about the Vedas that ignorant beings hold onto.

Q4. When were the Brahma Sutras written?
During the Dwapar Yuga, people propounded many misinterpretations about the Vedas and misunderstood the aim of human life. At that time, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Hari, incarnated as Vyasadev and restored the Vedas. The Brahma Sutra was thus written by Shri Vyasadev at the end of Dwapara Yuga to dispel the ignorance of the people of Kali Yuga and to establish them into the Absolute reality. The verses of the Brahma Sutra describe Lord Vishnu as the Supreme Brahman and the cause of all causes.
