The Upanishads : A one-volume Abridgement

Although the Upanishads are by far the oldest outpourings of the mystical consciousness of man, they have remained unequalled by any rival, ancient or modern, in profundity, splendour, and purity. Though historically the products of India, and of a particular age, they are in essence ageless and universal. This abridged edition contains excerpts from the Katha, Isha, Kena, Mundaka, Shvetashvatara, Prashna, Mandukya, Aitareya, Brihadaranyaka, Taittiriya, and Chandogya Upanishads. The translation is faithful and graceful, and the exposition authentic, instructive, and attractive. People living outside India can purchase this book from Ramakrishna Vivekananda Centre, New York, USA. Their website address is: http://www.ramakrishna.org/catalog/bk_sr.htm
