Prameya ratnavali: A String of Jewel-like Theorems of Baladeva Vidyabhusana
Prameya Ratnavali is a brilliant and systematic exposition of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava theology authored by the eminent philosopher Śrī Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa. Following his foundational works such as Govinda Bhāṣya and Siddhānta Ratna, this text serves as a Vedānta-prakaraṇa — a thematic digest of the fundamental theorems (prameyas) accepted in the Gauḍīya tradition.
At the request of his disciples, Sri Vidyabhusana distilled the most vital conclusions of Vedānta — such as the nature of Brahman, jīva, prakṛti, and bhakti — in a format that is accessible yet philosophically rich. This edition includes the traditional commentary Kanti-mala by Vedāntavāgīśa, which adds interpretive depth, and the author’s own glosses, making it a treasured resource for serious practitioners and academic researchers alike.
This work is not only a guide to understanding Gauḍīya theology but also a stepping stone to higher Vedāntic texts such as Govinda Bhāṣya and Siddhānta Ratna.
