About This Book
There is no book in the whole world that is so thrilling, soul-stirring and inspiring as the Upanishads. The philosophy taught by the Upanishads has been the source of solace for many, both in the East and the West. The Upanishads teach the Philosophy of absolute unity. They contain the sublime truths of Vedanta and practical hints and clues which throw much light on the pathway of Self-realisation.
The Eternal Wisdom of the Sages of India is stored in the
Upanishads. The Upanishads are the cream of the Vedas. Each of the four Vedas,
the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda, has its own
philosophical and mystical crowning teachings which go by the name of the
Upanishads. The breadth of vision, the profundity of insight and the marvellous
gamut of inclusiveness revealed in these holy writings, considered as Sruti, or
revealed Divine Messages, are remarkable and breath-taking.
Dialogues from the Upanishads is a collection of the most
sublime and thrilling portions of the Upanishads, the only authentic source of
spiritual knowledge, that treat of Jnana or Knowledge of the Self. The
interpretation of the verses is at once appealing and original. It is hoped,
however, that spiritual aspirants all the world over will be benefited to a
considerable extent by this publication, for, while it serves as a kindly light
that leads the aspirants on through the dark alleys of Vedanta, it also
contains a mine of information and knowledge to the layman as well.
