The Ultimate Knowledge
Srutis (The four original Vedas, the Upanishads ad the Vedanta sutra)
Veda means Knowledge and anta means “Goal or End” So Vedanta means the end of all knowledge.
Vedanta sutra was written by Vyasadeva, and under the instructions of Narada, his pritial master,
Vyasadeva wrote a commentary on it. That is Srimad-Bhagavatam.
Smrtis (the puranas the Mahabharata, Ramayana and corollary Vedic literature)
The four original Vedas are considered Sruti. But simply by hearing them, one cannot understand fully.
Therefore, the smrtis have explained further. By hearing puranas and other smrits, one makes his
understanding complete. In kali-yuga the smrti order is “kirtanad eva krishnasya mukta sangah param
vrajet” to obtain spiritual liberation, one must chant the holy name of the lord, Hare Krishna. Sruti and
Smrtis cannot be changed but they may recommend a particular process at a particular time, particular
circumstances.
