Includes DVD Talks on The Uanishads. Watch Eknath Easwaran warm, lively, insiring discuss timeless messages from The Uanishads. In the ancient wisdom texts called the Uanishads, illumined sages share flashes of insight, the results of their investigation into consciousness itself. In extraordinary visions, they exerience directly a transcendent Reality which is the essence, or Self, of each created being. They teach that each of us, each Self, is eternal, deathless, one with the ower that created the universe. Easwarans translation is reliable and readable, consistently the bestseller in its field. It includes an overview of the cultural and historical setting, with chater introductions, notes, and a Sanskrit glossary. But it is Easwarans understanding of the wisdom of the Uanishads, and their relevance to the modern reader, that makes this edition truly outstanding. Each sage, each Uanishad, aeals in different ways to the readers head and heart. In the end, Easwaran writes, The Uanishads belong not just to Hinduism. They are Indias recious legacy to humanity, and in that sirit they are offered here.
