Publisher's Summary
Upanishads are mankind's oldest works of philosophy, predating the earliest Greek philosophy. They are the concluding part of the Vedas, the ancient Indian sacred literature, and mark the culmination of a tradition of speculative thought first expressed in the Rig-Veda more than 4,000 years ago.
Remarkable for their meditative depth, spirit of doubt and intellectual honesty, the Upanishads are concerned with the knowledge of the Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, and man's relationship with it.
The name Upanishad is derived from the face-to-face mode of imparting knowledge - in the utmost sanctity and secrecy, to prevent its trivialisation or perversion. Composed in Sanskrit between 900 and 600 BC, the Upanishads presented here are by far the oldest and most important of those that exist.
Max Muller’s classic translation of the first 12 Upanishads have been extensively revised by Suren Navlakha, who provides an entirely new translation of the 13th, the Kaushitaka Upanishad. The recording opens with an extended and informative introduction to the Upanishads, setting the background to the genre, and each Upanishad is prefaced with a brief introductory passage. The Indian actor Sagar Arya gives an idiomatic reading.

Very literal, unmatched work with sankracharya
The best work is of sankracharya. This books is just translating the mantras, not the real essence of it

Golden words, well narrated
Wealth of knowledge, well narrated, clear words. Vedas n Upanishads don't spoon-feed. They are cryptic in many instances. To understand them better i would suggest the reader to not hear it like a full story, but hear a chapter and digest in mind/read notes made, then move to another chapter in sometime. Hearing at one shot will become overwhelming. Breaking into parts can greatly help understanding. Loved the book and narration. Thanks!

This introduces the basics of the Upanishads, in a voice that is easy to understand and follow. A good primer, which we all can do with.

Who is this guy ?
Brahman Brahman Brahman ... where is Brahma , where is Brahmana that's why something better understand in proper decoding of Sanskrit and Atharvaveda is written thousands n thousands of years after other vedas by Maharishi Vedvyasa Author of Epic Mahabharat and other his finest devotional work in which that great seer praises n praises leela of Bhagwan after that he get ultimate peace and announced bhakti with desire or no desire is only give mental and physical peace and strength. And that work is well known as shrimad bhagavat mahapuran... okay decode Mahapuran it's not sanskrit it's hindi ... if only this you decode you come to know greatness of our sages and seers
