Publisher's Synopsis
The Taittariya and Aittareya Upanishads is a book written by Edward Roer in 1850. The book is a translation of two important Hindu scriptures, the Taittariya and Aittareya Upanishads, which are part of the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts in Hinduism. The Upanishads are philosophical texts that explore the nature of reality, the self, and the ultimate goal of human life. Roer's translation is considered one of the most accurate and reliable translations of these texts. The book includes detailed commentary and analysis of the Upanishads, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the philosophical ideas presented in these texts. The Taittariya Upanishad is divided into three sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the self and the universe. The first section, called Shiksha Valli, deals with the pronunciation and meaning of Vedic mantras. The second section, called Brahmananda Valli, discusses the nature of Brahman, the ultimate reality, and the relationship between the individual self and Brahman. The third section, called Bhrigu Valli, explores the nature of the self and the process of self-realization.The Aittareya Upanishad is divided into five chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the universe and the self. The first chapter discusses the creation of the universe and the nature of the cosmic Self. The second chapter discusses the nature of the individual self and its relationship to the cosmic Self. The third chapter discusses the nature of the mind and its role in the process of self-realization. The fourth chapter discusses the nature of the five elements and their relationship to the Self. The fifth chapter discusses the nature of the ultimate reality and the process of attaining it.Overall, The Taittariya and Aittareya Upanishads is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of some of the most important philosophical ideas in Hinduism. Roer's translation and commentary make these texts accessible to a wider audience, and provide readers with a deeper understanding of the nature of reality and the ultimate goal of human life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
