DESCRIPTION:
This version is a translation of Swami Paramananda. All of our books are printed to order. The Upanishads represent the loftiest heights of ancient Indo-Aryan thought and culture and are regarded as direct revelations of God. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment.. The Upanishads are early philosophical texts of the Hindu religion. Because these teachings were usually given in the stillness of some distant retreat, where the noises of the world could not disturb the tranquillity of the contemplative life, they are known also as Aranyakas, Forest Books. Paramananda was an important Swami, mystic, poet, and an innovator in spiritual community living. Wilder Publications is a green publisher
Not a paraphrase but every verse of 3 popular Upanishads Meow Tomcat Swami Paramananda (1884- 1940) was one of the founders of the Vedanta Society of Boston. When an American friend could not understand the Upanishads, Swami Paramananda organized classes and the result was a book published in 1919 covering the Isa Upanishad, Katha Upanishad and Kena Upanishad. The Upanishads, of course, are inherently philosophical and highly condensed. The translator has to balance readability versus the profundity of the original Sanskrit. Swami. Stunning and Soulful Illuminations Avid Reader 1959 A virtual encyclopedia of spiritual wisdom and truth for the Seeker who is seeking enlightenment and a tool box for all awaken souls seeking the perfection of wisdom and the return to 'oneness' with God-Source. One of the best of the published holy writing.With infinite gratitude,Your devoted Atman. Very lucid ! Uncomplicated for the novice I wish the book also had the Sanskrit text alongside the English translation. Perhaps it already exists in later editions.
