## Description

The Upanishads are the most sacred texts of the Hindu religion, considered to contain the ultimate truth and the knowledge that leads to spiritual emancipation. They are the finest examples of Indian metaphysical and speculative thought. Out of the traditional 109 Upanishads, ten of them are considered to be the principal ones: Isha, Kena and Katha, Prashan, Mundaka, Mandukya, Tattiriya, Aitareya, Chhandogya and Brihadaranyaka. The Ten Principal Upanishads is an introduction of the primary Upanishads to the uninitiated.

Review: Upanishads for study - I followed a course in Oxford on the world's five great religions, and my teacher recommended this book for by end of term essay. It gave a good overview and immersion into the subject. Well worthwhile.
Review: Two Stars - Easy to dip into. Some I just don't understand

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upanishads for study
*by M***R on 17 March 2012*

I followed a course in Oxford on the world's five great religions, and my teacher recommended this book for by end of term essay. It gave a good overview and immersion into the subject. Well worthwhile.

### ⭐⭐ Two Stars
*by B***N on 26 November 2017*

Easy to dip into. Some I just don't understand

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Summarized poetically by Yeats
*by H***E on 16 June 2024*

I wanted to get an idea about the contents of the main Upanishads and picked this. The book is brief and it’s been translated by W B Yeats and hence the language is poetic. Enjoyed reading it
