Exceptional Translation of Upanishads
The book is one of the best English translations of the Upanishads I have read. It thoroughly captures and beautifully preserves the mystical content and meaning of the Upanishad verses. I highly recommend the title to serious students of Hindu mysticism for reading and study. ...Marc
Rhadakrishna's work a good east/west philosophical bridge
The actual text is completely in understandable English and lacks a lot of the more technical terms of sanskrit that put off new comers to Hindu philosophy. There are abundant allusions to classical philosophy including Plato, that make the work of interest to students of philosophy
A quote from an authority and a summary
The Upanishads are the principal Hindu scripture dealing with the struggle for liberation from continued rebirths. Klostermeier in A Survey of Hinduism calls this edition "a good English translation".
