Discover the Heart of Hinduism in the Profound Insights of the Upanishads
The sacred scriptures of India are vast. Yet they are only different ways of seeing the same thing, the One Thing which makes them both valid and ultimately harmonious. That unifying subject is Brahman: God the Absolute, beyond and besides whom there is no “other” whatsoever.
The thirteen major Upanishads are the fountainhead of all expositions of Brahman. The word “upanishad” itself comes from the root word upasana, which means to draw or sit near, and is usually considered to mean that which was heard when the student sat near the teacher to learn the eternal truths.
From the Author:
"We do not know who wrote the Upanishads. This has a distinct advantage in that the image of a historical, finite personality does not intervene to obscure the revelation handed on to spiritual aspirants.
The authority of the Upanishads rests not upon those who wrote them, but upon the demonstrable truths they express. They are as self-sufficient and self-evident as the multiplication tables or the Table of Elements. They are simply the complete and unobscured truth. And realization of that Truth alone matters."
A Unique Commentary by Swami Nirmalananda Giri (Abbot George Burke)
- Illumining the Upanishad's practical value for spiritual seekers.
- With a unique perspective of a lifetime of study and practice of Eastern and Western spirituality.
- Easily intelligible for those wishing to put these priceless teachings into practice.
