I guess we're back to Hinduism again?
What is it you want to debate? Hindus will give you the answer to your question, but that's not debate.

I quote from one's referenced site:
The Brahmasutra, states Sengaku Mayeda, distills and consolidates the extensive teachings found in a variety of Upanishads of Hinduism, summarizing, arranging, unifying and systematizing the Upanishadic theories.[21]Prior to the creation of the Brahmasutras, the Vedic literature had grown into an enormous collection of ideas and practices, ranging from practical rituals (karma-kanda) to abstract philosophy (jnana-kanda).[21][32] Different and conflicting theories on metaphysical problems, diverse mutually contradicting unsystematized teachings on rituals and philosophies multiplied in the four Vedas, creating the need for consolidated and systematized content summary of the Sruti.[21][32] This was achieved by Jaimini's Mimamsa-sutra which focussed on externalized rituals as the spiritual path, while Badarayana's Brahma-sutra focussed on internalized philosophy as the spiritual path.[21][32]

So it confirms that Brahma Sutra/ Vedanta Sutra did not exist in the Veda Period. Right? Please
Regards
What do you think defines the Vedic Period? Give dates. First you need to know what the dates of the Vedic Period are. Right?

"the Vedic literature had grown into an enormous collection of ideas and practices"
This confirms the point I mentioned:
"ordinary people cannot afford to read such a voluminous Vedic scripture, they will rather be thankful if such a concise/condensed/compressed scripture is compiled which could be finished" in a reasonable time. #659 .
Right? Please

It was written after the Vedas, because it uses a later form of Sanskrit. It was written after the Upanishads, because it attempts to summarise them. The attribution to Badarayana is traditional, and that's a good a name as any. Of course, trying to summarise the Upanishads is rather worse than trying to give a description of Christianity that would satisfy a Roman Catholic, a Southern Baptist, and a Quaker! That's why there are commentaries on it that contradict each other, like those of Shankara and Ramanuja.

Is it an endorsement that Vedanta is written after the Veda Period? Please.
Regards
Vedanta is based on the Vedas. It's a philosophical school, and people have come to the same conclusions, before, after, and during the Vedic age. In may ways the Vedic age has always been and always will be, because it's inner. Mystics can go inside themselves and access that same knowledge any time they want to.

Is it a confirmation that when the structure/building of Veda was complete, people in the Post Veda Period realized, that now they should lay its base/foundation? Right? Please
Regards
No it's not. The Vedas were always complete.

So, why have Vedanta Sutra in the Post Veda Period, it was never needed, and is superficial. Please
Regards
No its not. In Hinduism the body of texts and scripture is constantly growing. We have always added more stuff, sectarian, on modern dharma, and otherwise. We're not fixated on one old scripture. This makes Hinduism a living, evolving, changing religion.

It is a man made religion/s, not even mentioned in Veda. It has got nothing to do with Veda. Right? Please
It is a Post Vedic construction. Please
Regards
No. It's a different name for Sanatana Dharma. This is the sixth time I've told you this, as have others. Do you bother to read? Istanbul is a different name for Constantinople. Hinduism (not the name, but the religion itself) is eternal. It cannot be destroyed because it's on the inside of every being (including you, if you could find it).
Please stop saying stuff that about Hinduism that isn't true. Please? Right? Regards.
