The Upanishads The Katha Upanishad The Mundaka Upanishad The Taittiriyaka Upanishad The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad The Svetasvatara Upanishad The Maitrayana Brahmana Upanishad

Among the oldest of India's spiritual texts, the Upanishads are records of intensive question-and-answer sessions given by illumined sages to their students. Widely featured in philosophy courses, the Upanishads have puzzled and inspired wisdom seekers from Yeats to Schopenhauer. Eknath Easwaran makes this challenging text more accessible by selecting the passages most relevant to readers seeking timeless truths today. His accessible, highly readable translation and lively foreword place the teachings in a contemporary context for students and general readers alike.

Excerpt from The Upanishads, Vol. 2: The Katha-Upanishad; The Mundaka-Upanishad; The Taittiriyaka-Upanishad; The Brihadaranyaka-Upanishad; The Svetasvatara-Upanishad; The Prasna-Upanishad; The Maitrayana-Brahmana-Upanishad These eleven have sometimes 2 been called the old and genuine Upanishads, though I should be satisfied to call them the eleven classical Upanishads, or the fundamental Upanishads Of the Vedanta philosophy.
