The Upanishads, by Eknath Easwaran, is a reliable and inspiring translation of the ancient Indian wisdom texts.
Summary of the Book
Enlightened sages share flashes of insight in the Upanishads - the results of their inquiry into consciousness itself. In astonishing visions, they experience a transcendent reality and teach us that each of us, each ‘Self’, is eternal, deathless, and one with the creator of the universe. This title includes an overview of the cultural and historical setting, with chapter introductions, notes, and a Sanskrit glossary. Easwaran understands the relevance of the Upanishads to the modern reader. Each Upanishad appeals in different ways to different reader. Towards the end of the book, Easwaran asserts that the Upanishads belong not just to Hindus, but they are India’s precious legacy dedicated to all of humanity, and in that spirit, they are offered in this title.
