The treasured and classic writings of Hinduism are published here in their complete English translation by Swami Paramananda. First translated to English by Swami Paramananda as part of his mission to spread the eastern teachings of Hinduism to the Western world, The Upanishads contain many of the tenets, principles and reflections upon life which Hindus emphasise in their belief system.

Good as a devotional reading Shao-nian Bates Good as a devotional reading,The mind described in the Upanishads is the superconscious mind. According to the Vedic Sages the mind in its ordinary state is only another sense organ. This mind is limited, but when it becomes illumined by the light of the Cosmic Intelligence, or the “mind of the mind,” then it is able to apprehend the First Cause or That which stands behind all external activities.. What more can one say about this classic? This is a cornerstone of not only Indian spirituality and literature, but of HUMAN spirituality and literature. Read it on Kindle, read it in a printed book, buy it or get it from the library, but please do yourself a favor and read it. If you're interested in Buddhism (as I am), you'll find many interested seeds of thought in this work that the Buddha later refined into his own tradition. Just wonderful.. Annotations help understanding I liked the annotations, as they helped me to understand the parables and sayings. It's a great little book on which to meditate over morning coffee, or anytime during the day, as an escape from the "senses" to enjoy some deep thinking.
