Upanishads. Eknath Easwaran. 2023.

In the ancient wisdom texts called the Upanishads, illuminated sages share flashes of insight, the results of their investigation into consciousness itself.

In extraordinary visions, they experience directly a transcendent Reality which is the essence, or Self, of each created being. They teach that each of us, each Self, is eternal, deathless, one with the power that created a universe.

Easwaran’s translation is reliable and readable, consistently the bestseller in its field. It includes an overview of the cultural and historical setting, with chapter introductions, notes and a Sanskrit glossary.
