The
Upanishads
The
Upanishads are
one
of
the
most
concise
expositions
of
the
spiritual
experiences
that
lie
at
the
heart
of
all
the
great
religions.
Although
nearly
three
thousand
years
old,
their
teachings
are
as
relevant
today
as
when
they
were
first
given
by
the
forest
sages
of
India.
These translations of three complete Upanishads and selections from six have captured the eternal wisdom of these texts in simple modern language. Their clarity and beauty have been praised by many; several contemporary spiritual teachers have chosen to quote widely from them in the their own work.
The translations have been embellished with seventy beautiful photographs taken in India by Richard Lannoy, reflecting the peace and inner serenity of which the Upanishads speak.
In addition there is a short introduction to each translation in which the authors provide some fascinating insights into the origin of the Upanishads and the subtle philosophy behind them.

‘An elegant and valuable contribution to the growing corpus of Upanishadic literature in English’ - Dr. Karan Singh.
‘This superb and graceful translation offers the contemporary reader not only a new appreciation of the wisdom of India, but, more importantly, a renewed vision of who and what we ourselves are and to what greatness we can aspire. I know of no finer rendering of these treasures of Eastern spirituality’ - Jacob Needleman
‘The kind of text one keeps close at hand like an old, wise and compassionate friend’ - Ram Dass
