The Upanishads are a collection of Vedic texts that form the basis of the philosophy of the Vedas. They appear at the end of each Veda to clarify and expound upon the teachings to make them more accessible to spiritual aspirants and even laypersons. They reveal the profound metaphysical truths of the Indian doctrine of the universe and represent the earliest emergence of the central tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
From the jacket cover:
The Upanishads, which teach that life and death are only different forms of one and the same being and which aim at the release from mundane existence by the merging of the individual soul in the world soul through correct knowledge, have been hailed as the inspired utterances of the mystics for centuries. In them the whole of the later philosophy of the Indians is rooted.
Paul Deussen is one of the foremost Western scholars who have devoted their lives to understand and interpret the philosophy of the Upanishads. His Sechzig Upanisads des Veda has remained for a long time inaccessible to the common Indian reader owing to its German language. It is now for the first time appearing in English translation.
Paperback from India, Volume I and II 995 pages. Indian edition covers may have slight to moderate marks.
