Description

The Upanishads are part of the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts containing some of the central philosophical concepts and ideas of Hinduism, some of which are shared with religious traditions like Buddhism and Jainism. Of all Vedic literature, the Upanishads alone are widely known, and their central ideas are at the spiritual core of Hindus.

Author

Swami Paramananda (1884–1940) was an early Vedanta teacher in the United States, a disciple of the Ramakrishna–Vivekananda lineage who brought Upanishadic wisdom to American seekers. Mystic, poet, and builder of spiritual community, he translated and taught with a gentle clarity. The Upanishads in our catalogue reflect that bridge between Indian scripture and English-speaking devotion.
