Dasa Mula Tattva, the Ten Essential Truth by Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Dasa Mula Tattva is a philosophical treatise written by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. Dasa Mula Tattva is a must-have book for any serious student of Gaudiya Vaisnavism. The importance of this book cannot be overstated, for herein, all the essential teachings of the Vedas are concisely expounded. These gems are revealed by the spiritual and intellectual brilliance of Śrīla Bhaktivinode Ṭhākura, illuminating all who will glance this way with the guiding light of Vedic truth.

In these pages, the devotion of the Ṭhākura to Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu is wonderfully predominant. However, at the time of writing, the start of the twentieth century, the effulgence of Vedic knowledge was all but covered. Misinterpretation, speculation and condemnation were the order of the day as a means of approach to the oldest literature of mankind—the sacred Vedas. Spirituality was outmoded; the darkness of materialism, godless economic development and sensual pursuits were the programme for the ‘modern’ age.
