Vyāsa citations

Vyāsa est un rishi légendaire, auteur et compilateur "prototypique" de l'hindouisme. Vyāsa est considéré comme une fonction spirituelle et intellectuelle: ce mot sanskrit signifie « compilateur » et désigne les auteurs d'un grand nombre de textes et d'œuvres collectives. Il est connu sous le nom de Bādarāyaṇa en tant que fondateur du Védanta ayant vécu entre 200 av. J.-C. et 450 ap. J.-C. Il aurait écrit le Brahmasūtra.

Il est aussi nommé Veda Vyāsa , ou encore Krishna Dvaipayana . Nombre de traditions Vaishnava voient en lui un avatar de Vishnou. Il est considéré comme étant à la source de la définition de l'Ahiṃsā communément admise en Inde. Au cours des siècles un autre écrivain connu a pris ce nom : un poète du XVIe siècle dénommé Harirama Vyasa. Wikipedia
