The scripture concerns the story of a young man who goes to the house of death to find out what happens after death.The reply describes the nature of reality and the meaning of life. This scripture is one of the most popular Upanishads.The book contains the Devanagri text with translation into English and a transliteration of the Devanagri text into Roman characters. Explanatory footnotes added when necessary.We especially recommend the Sw. Prabhavananda translation of this scripture as found in Upanishads: Breath of the Eternal. 087481040x

A handy vest-pocket sized edition of the classic Indian scripture.Our translation of the Bhagavad Gita uses the beauty of verse to express the highest truths of Vedanta. Includes an introduction to the Gita, and a study of the cosmology of the Gita.How Swami Prabhavananda’s translation came about in the Swami’s own words:Once I was away for a rest in Palm Springs I had a Gita translation with me. When I read the twelfth chapter, I felt that the meaning had not been brought out; I saw deeper meaning in it. So I started to translate, and then Chris helped me…I translated and Chris edited. When Peggy Kiskadden came, she read what we had done and could not understand it. Then we went to Aldous. Chris read aloud, and Aldous listened. Aldous said, No, that is not right yet. Forget that Krishna is speaking to the Hindus in Sanskrit. Forget that this is a translation. Think that Krishna is speaking to an American audience in English… Then Aldous told Chris which style to use for verse. Chris rewrote the whole eleventh chapter of the Gita following Tennyson, I think. He produced the book in a week He was inspired.This pocket edition of the Gita measures 4.5” by 3.5”. It lacks the footnotes of the larger editions and also the four page essay entitled The Gita and War. Otherwise, it is complete.

The sacred subject of the eternal living spiritual culture of the Upanishads and their journey to the West deserves attention of a wider public. This book is a comprehensive treatment of the broad achievements of India’s civilization and spiritual culture as it is revealed through the works of Western scholars.

This is a book on Samkhya philosophy, one of the important pillars of the six systems of Indian philosophy. While modern science is finding itself more and more in agreement Vedantic intuitive perceptions, it must be noted that Vedanta reaches its heights only from the solid foundation of Samkhya. Neither Vedanta nor modern science can be understood in all their nuances without a firm grasp of the Samkhyan tenets. The work includes the Tattva Kaumudi of Sri Vacaspati Misra
