Although many theories of Vedanta are created on the basis of Upanishad, the time for occurrence is later than other schools as an independent philosophical school. It is generally acknowledged that such a school has been founded by Badarayana in about 1st century CE. Some main thoughts of Veda Upanishad have been concluded by Badarayana in theory to create the earliest fundamental and classic “Brahma Sutra”, which has established the basic ideas of Vedanta.
