Vedanta-syamantaka is a concise but profound and systematic exposition of Gaudiya Vedanta, written by Radha-Damodara Gosvami, whose foremost disciple was Baladeva Vidyabhusana.

In defining these topics, the author provides ample quotations from various scriptures, as well as sound arguments that corroborate the Gaudiya Vaisnava conclusions. The original text is further clarified by Vidyabhusana's gloss, which is found only in a few rare manuscripts and is being published here for the first time. The introduction addresses the old controversy regarding the authorship of this book, the causes of the confusion, and the evidence that Sri Radha-Damodara is the real author.
