Sadananda Yogendra Saraswati, the exponent of theAdvaita Vedanta as taught byAdi Shankara and the renowned author ofVedantasara which is one of the best knownPrakarana Granthas (text-books) of the philosophy of the Upanishads, was the son of Anantadeva, and probably lived in mid-15th century A.D. He is also reputed to have written -Vedantasiddhanta-sarasangraha,Bhavaprakasa onBhagavad Gita andBrahmasutra-tatpryaprakasa – which are works of equal repute and importance.[1][2] Not much is known about the life of thisacharya. Hiriyanna states that Sadananda of Vedantasara is different from the Sadananda ofAdvaitbrahmansiddhi the text that was published by the Asiatic Society of Bengal.[3]
In his works Sadananda stresses the liberated being's freedom from bondage, detachment from the body, and constant goodness, although being beyond virtue. The liberated being after having lived out his prarabdha karma merges withBrahman.[4]
Advayananda was the Guru of Sadananda.[5]
