Synopsis

The Upanishads are early philosophical texts of the Hindu religion. The Upanishads represent the loftiest heights of ancient Indo-Aryan thought and culture and are regarded as direct revelations of God. Because these teachings were usually given in the stillness of some distant retreat, where the noises of the world could not disturb the tranquillity of the contemplative life, they are known also as Aranyakas, Forest Books. This version is a translation of Swami Paramananda. Paramananda was an important Swami, mystic, poet, and an innovator in spiritual community living. Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Swami Paramananda (1884-1940) was a Vedantic teacher and writer associated with the Ramakrishna movement. He lectured extensively in both India and the United States, contributing to the early twentieth-century transmission of Vedantic philosophy to Western audiences. His translations and commentaries sought to present classical Hindu texts in accessible yet faithful English prose.
