The Great Upanishads: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Upanishads V1

By: Charles Johnston

The Great Upanishads: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Upanishads V1 is a book written by Charles Johnston that explores the ancient Indian texts known as the Upanishads. These texts are considered to be some of the most important and influential works in Hindu philosophy and spirituality. The book focuses on five of the Upanishads: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, and Upanishads V1. The Isha Upanishad is a short text that explores the nature of the self and the universe. The Kena Upanishad explores the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality in Hinduism. The Katha Upanishad tells the story of a young boy named Nachiketa who seeks knowledge of the afterlife from the god of death, Yama. The Prashna Upanishad is a series of six questions posed by six students to a sage, which are answered in depth. Finally, the Upanishads V1 is a collection of various Upanishads that are not included in the other four texts. Throughout the book, Johnston provides commentary and analysis of the Upanishads, helping readers to understand their significance and meaning. He also discusses the historical context in which the Upanishads were written, as well as their influence on Hinduism and other religions. The Great Upanishads: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Upanishads V1 is a comprehensive guide to these important texts, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Hindu philosophy and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
