The writer of this book is named Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana Vyāsadeva, also called Bādarāyana. He is the Lord, the bhagavān, among the philosophers, who in India assembled all the holy texts. He compiled the Vedas, also known as śruti, containing the basic wisdom, the mantras for the rituals and the hymns. He also wrote the Mahabharata, which is the greatest epic poem in the world. It describes the history (Itihāsa) of the great fall that the Vedic culture once made. The Bhagavad Gita is the most important part of it. Vyāsa also wrote the rest of the eighteen great story books (the Purāṇas) Brahma-sutra, his masterpiece on the Absolute Truth.
