Really fascinating. Reminds me of some of the first books of the Bible from it's references to laws and the founding of the universe and stuff. It also contains teachings to Brahmans and other such things. The names are a bit hard to pronounce, but I soldiered through it. I am not sure if I got it right though.

This particular version was printed back in 1968, so I am not sure if this book is the same as the one listed. It comes with a bibliography, annotations and a description of the philosophy of the Upanishads and the overall mythos of the philosophy.

Throughout, it contains important words that weren't translated, like prana, and some others. A lot of this book consists of stories and phrases that are repeated a lot. Some of the Upanishads are similar to the others and I don't know why they listed those too, but they probably had some good reason.

In any case, I really enjoyed this book.… (más)
