The Upanishads are presented in a way that anyone can understand them. Beautiful teachings. ( )

Introduction is terrific --lots of helpful back ground information on early Brahmin culture and origins of texts. ( )

This book is based on the Controversial aryan Invasion theory formulated by German Professor without any proof..If we just disregard that part, I think its a good book.

Note: It is very difficult to translate the sanskrit upanishad into english and in that perspective the author has done a good job. But his basic assumption of disputed aryan invasion theory to be right is something which brings down the rating of this book. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0140441638, Paperback)

The poetic backbone of Hinduism, the millennia-old Upanishads transcend time. The selections offered here illuminate a path that is as "narrow as the edge of a razor" but pregnant with freedom and bliss. Through vivid metaphors and timeless prose, learn how the path of yoga leads beyond the treacherous web of karma to the final, blissful union of the personal soul, atman, with the universal soul, Brahman.
