The Message Of The Upanisads

The Message of the Upanishads is a study, verse by verse, of three of the principal Upanishads, namely, Isha, Kena and Katha, in the light of modern thought and modern needs. Though constituting a small portion of the total Upanishadic literature, they yet contain a lucid exposition of all the essential ideas of this immortal literature. The spiritual insights of the Upanishads are an exception to the tyranny of time. Subsequent scientific advances have not only not affected their truth-value but have, on the contrary, only helped to reveal the rational basis of their insights and enhanced their spiritual appeal. A masterly and yet lucid exposition of the Isha Kena and Katha Upanishads suited to our times by an outstanding savant sage this era has produced. The result of extempore lectures delivered by Swami Ranganathananda this volume promises to be a guide to translate the profound ideas of Upanishads into our daily lives.
