Description ▲
Of the traditional 108 Upanisads, only the ten principal ones are well-known. The Samanya Vedanta Upanisads comprise twenty-four of the less-known ones. In this book they were translated into English for the first time. The translation follows the commentary of Upanisad-brahma-yogin, the only writer known who has commented on all 108 Upanisads. This provides a consistency of interpretation for these often obscure texts. He follows the Advaita Vedanta school of Sankaracarya. Samanya means "general," so these are the Upanisads on the general Vedanta topics such as the atman, the "self." They are essential works for those interested in Indian religion.
