Book Description

About the Book Upanisads are an authoritative compendium of Indian metaphysics. They represent the earnest efforts of profound thinkers of early India to solve the problems of origin, nature, and destiny of man and the universe, more technically the meaning and value of knowing and being. They are replete with sublime conceptions and with intuitions of universal truth. These Upanisads sets forth two opposing theories: one of mundane life and the other relating to a life that is in search of the Supreme Reality and man's ultimate aim. Though, traditionally, 108 Upanisads are well known and subject to various studies, there are around 200 Upanişads in toto. Of them, this volume contains the translation and interpretation of thirteen principal Upanisads such as Brhadaranyaka, Chandogya, Taittiriya, Aitareya, Kauşttaki, Kena, Katha, Iša, Mundaka, Praśna, Mandükya, Svetasvatara and Maitri along with the outline of the philosophical wisdom inherent in these Upanişads. It also features the recurrent and parallel passages in these principal Upanişads and the Bhagavadgita.

Preface IN THE LONG HISTORY of man's endeavor to grasp the fundamental truths of being, the metaphysical treatises known as the Upanishads hold an honored place. They represent the earnest efforts of the profound thinkers of early India to solve the problems of the origin, the nature, and the destiny of man and of the universe, or-more technically-the mean-ing and value of 'knowing' and 'being'. Though they con-tain some fanciful ideas, naïve speculations, and inadequate conclusions, yet they are replete with sublime conceptions and with intuitions of universal truth." Here are found intimations of the inadequacy of mere nature-worship and of the falsity of an empty ceremonialism. Here are expressed the momentous discoveries that the various gods of polytheistic belief are but numerous special manifestations of the One Power of the universe, and that the supreme object of worship is this variously revealed, partially elusive, all-comprehending unitary Reality. Still more momentous are the discernments that man is of more significance than all the forces of Nature; that man himself is the interpretation as well as the interpreter of Nature, because he is akin to the reality at the heart of the universe; indeed, that the One God, the great intelligent Person who is immanent in the universe, is to be found most directly in the heart of man. Here in the Upanishads are set forth, in concrete example as well as in dogmatic instruction, two opposing theories of life: an ignorant, narrow, selfish way of life which seeks temporary, unsatisfying, unreal ends; and a way of life which seeks to relate itself to the Supreme Reality of the universe, so as to escape from the needless misery of ordinary existence into undying bliss. These important texts, the earliest of which can hardly According to the derivation of the word, they are 'sessions close to [a pre-ceptor]; in the actual usage of the Upanishads themselves, 'mystic teachings". For various other meanings of the word, see the Sanskrit Index, s.v. For various modern estimates of the Upanishads, both in India and in the West, see the comments cited on pages 3-4 and in the Bibliography.
