The Upanishads
The Upanishads are early philosophical texts of the Hindu religion. The Upanishads represent the loftiest heights of ancient Indo-Aryan thought and culture and are regarded as direct revelations of God. Because these teachings were usually given in the stillness of some distant retreat, where the noises of the world could not disturb the tranquillity of the contemplative life, they are known also as Aranyakas, Forest Books.

This version is a translation of Swami Paramananda. Paramananda was an important Swami, mystic, poet, and an innovator in spiritual community living.

About the Author

Swami Paramananda was an Indian spiritual teacher who lived from 1884 to 1940. He was a disciple of the great yogi, Sri Ramakrishna, and was instrumental in bringing the teachings of Vedanta to the West. He founded the Vedanta Centre in Boston and wrote several books on spirituality, including a commentary on the Upanishads. Swami Paramananda's teachings emphasize the importance of love, service, and self-realization, and continue to inspire seekers of spiritual truth around the world.
