The Upanishads are some of the worlds most important works of spiritualliterature presented here in an accessible form by an early ambassador ofVedantic teaching. Swami Paramanandas translations were created in the early1900s out of a desire to make the Hindu sacred texts comprehensible toWesterners who had previously had to contend with the more obscure language ofpurely scholarly translations. The text and commentary was generated in aseries of classes given by Paramananda in Boston and later revised forpublication. As a result the language is simple and clear and the annotationsrelevant to a nonHindu audience. These translations and commentary are stillcherished by English speakers the world over for their lucidity and insightand will be an asset to anyone interested in Vedic spirituality. «
