Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. T.M.P. Mahadevan gives here an easy to read translation of selections from the 108 Upanisads. The eternal truths revealed so long ago are still valid today and in this easy flowing style they provide moments of truth and enlightenment in the modern materialistic world in which we now live. The first chapter introduces the reader to the back ground of the Upanisads and elucidates the underlying philosophy. A short introduction to each of the following chapters further explains their meaning. Many sayings, known and frequently used, will be found here in their original context.
