Description

Upaniṣads consist of the culminating thoughts on the origin and existence of this universe. They present the most ancient and, at the same time, the most modern, rational spiritual philosophy which is the ultimate and the unique of its kind. They are not theological texts, but, purely rational deductions on spirituality. Even now, they stand above the reach of all spiritual philosophies ever occurred in the world. In this work, you will get all that one should know about and learn from Upaniṣads. At the end, even the self-styled rationalists would be so tamed as to give up their offensive against spirituality.Upaniṣads constitute the rich philosophical heritage of India. Indian spiritual philosophy is the most outstanding because of its rational texture and unique synthesis of the material and the spiritual. When the rest of the world debated over the comparative superiority between the material and the spiritual, the Indian philosophy synthesised them both into a unique ultimate entity. This book brings out that glory of the Upaniṣads.The most authentic and most ancient of the Upaniṣads are eleven in number. All these eleven Principal Upaniṣads are studied in this book, giving emphasis to the consistent ideas running through all of them. It is the expositions in these Upaniṣads that collectively constitute the spiritual philosophy of India. While this book brings out the uniqueness and rationality of thoughts therein, it also points out the exceptions therein to this running consistency and exempts them from consideration, explaining the reasons therefor. Nobody ever understood the Upaniṣads as precisely and accurately as presented in this book. All previous understandings are either confusing with theological over-influence or misleading with improper construal of imports of philosophical terms or with both. You will find herein the real inner meaning of the cryptic words used in the Upaniṣads. As a result, for the first time in history, the very philosophy of Upaniṣads is brought under a new light of reason and logic. Such precise exposition of the Upaniṣadic thoughts, with shining consistency and clarity, as is presented in this work, cannot be found in any other source or in any other interpretations.You will see in this book the shining fact that all the concepts of charity, morality, social codes, right and wrong, virtue and vice, good and bad, etc. are derivatives of the ultimate concept of SAT-CHIT-ĀNANDA which is the ruling principle of the world. You will also find the answers given by the Upaniṣads to the questions whether there is any God and if yes, who and what He is.
