The sages share flashes of insight, extraordinary visions, and the results of their investigation into consciousness itself. The \u003cem\u003eUpanishads\u003c\/em\u003e have puzzled and inspired wisdom seekers from Yeats to Schopenhauer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this best-selling translation, Eknath Easwaran makes these challenging texts more accessible by selecting the passages most relevant to readers seeking timeless truths today. This book includes an overview of the cultural and historical setting, with chapter introductions, notes, and a Sanskrit glossary. But it is Easwaran's understanding of the wisdom of the \u003cem\u003eUpanishads\u003c\/em\u003e that makes this edition truly outstanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach sage, each \u003cem\u003eUpanishad\u003c\/em\u003e, appeals in a different way to the reader's head and heart. For Easwaran, the \u003cem\u003eUpanishads\u003c\/em\u003e are part of India's precious legacy, not just to Hinduism but to humanity, and in that spirit they are offered here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47600571875564,"sku":"9781586381318","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/e0bee9919f59eb84f86afa3fddc70a9a.jpg?v=1778020060","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-upanishads-by-eknath-easwaran-9781586381318","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
