The Upanishads

Eswaran's translations on several India Classics have alway been just wonderful. This one is no exception. Ever better, he as a very good writer to do the introductions on each chapter, and is very clear about exactly what the book is trying to say, and a writing style that takes some difficult reading and make's it easy to understand.I have nothing about great things to say about Eswaran's Upanishad translation. Every page is clear, and helps the reader to engage with what the various authors were trying to say. When you finish the book you have a good understanding of why it's a classic, want to read more on the various subjects presented, and feel good because of the beauty of the writing. Om, Shanti, Amen

Spectacular book!

Interesting reading if you want to know more about Hinduism

It seems a long time since Hinduism was part of my course at university and now I have the time to go back and read some of the splendid books I studied back then I was happy to buy this version of The Upanishads.Easwaran is a noted scholar and translator and I do like his extended introduction - it felt like being back in lectures when my brain was more alive. This is only a fragment of the entire Upanishads, Easwaran has made selections based upon what they feel to be important. Each Upanishad also has a short explanation which can be a real help.The quality of this print book is exceptional, there is nothing cheap at all with the print, the quality of the pages, and the quality of the covers. A great purchase that I have really enjoyed reading and will be returning to it again.

Upanishads are very hard to interfere and decipher. Eknath Easweran has made them very simple to read and absorb. It's quite brilliant to able to write such a summary.If anyone is interested in Upanishads (in english), start with this book and then progress to others with more detail. This book sets up a strong foundation
