Summary of the Book
Although the Upanishads are by far the oldest outpourings of the mystical consciousness of man, they have remained unequalled by any rival, ancient or modern, in profundity, splendour, and purity. Though historically the products of India, and of a particular age, they are in essence ageless and universal.This translation of the eleven most important Upanishads by Swami Nikhilananda is faithful and graceful, and the exposition authentic, instructive, and attractive.
