Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura wrote the Sri Amnaya-sutra in 1890. It is largely based in the Upanisads and contains 130 aphorisms, along with commentary. As it is said, "Essential truth spoken concisely is true eloquence."

This wonderful book is the perfect example of this. Here we find all the basic understandings of the Krsna conscious philosophy, and refutations of the arguments that attempt to counter such an understanding, presented in a very concise, progressive, and masterly way.

"Bowing down before Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya, the teacher of the entire world, a certain person named Bhaktivinoda, by the grace of the Vaisnavas and by the order of the great souls, has composed 130 sutras describing the final conclusion of the Vedas, a conclusion attained by studying the eight sources of evidence, the six signs, and the direct and indirect interpretation of words.

May all the Vaisnavas who serve Lord Caitanya's lotus feet study these sutras.
