Category:Authority of Vyasadeva
Theme Analysis Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that Śrīla Vyāsadeva is the master authority of the Vedas and the powerful, authorized incarnation of Narayana. He emphasizes that because Vyasadeva is a liberated soul who compiled the Vedic literatures after attaining spiritual perfection, there is no question as to his authority. Śrīla Prabhupāda clarifies that the meaning of the Vedanta-sutra can only be truly understood by hearing it from Vyasadeva himself, who provided the Srimad-Bhagavatam as his own authorized commentary to prevent rascals from misinterpreting his work. He warns that it is foolish for any mundane creature to think of themselves as more intelligent than Vyasadeva or to adjust his interpretations. Furthermore, he teaches that the Mahabharata is authorized Vedic literature because Vyasadeva, the supreme authority, chose to include the Bhagavad-gita within it as perfect knowledge. Ultimately, by following the authority of Vyasadeva and his representative, the bona fide spiritual master, a devotee can understand the opulences and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and achieve real happiness.
