## Description

The Upanishads (Penguin Classics) : Mascaró, Juan: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Beautiful as they are insightful. - A lyrically beautiful and spiritually insightful book that seems to have an almost transcendental effect on it's privileged reader. Whether you are deeply interested in theology and philosophy or a casual reader, I believe these writings can speak to everyone in some way, even to a militant atheist who believes there is not a shred of truth to be found within them, they are still worth reading for their immense beauty. It is easy to see why Schopenhauer spoke so highly of them, they are truly up there with the finest texts to ever be produced by human minds. That they were written thousands of years ago only serves to increase the wonder a reader feels on reading them.
Review: Superb commentary - The date of origin of the Upanishads is unclear as they were initially oral teachings. This excellent translation gives them in their simple glory. The beauty and excellence of this edition is the commentary by Juan Mascaro, one who had penetrated the mystery of Brahman and these teachings. It is from his commentary that the deeper aspects of the timeless wisdom emerges. For a further metaphysical treatment look for the book by Rene Guenon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful as they are insightful.
*by K***P on 18 February 2015*

A lyrically beautiful and spiritually insightful book that seems to have an almost transcendental effect on it's privileged reader. Whether you are deeply interested in theology and philosophy or a casual reader, I believe these writings can speak to everyone in some way, even to a militant atheist who believes there is not a shred of truth to be found within them, they are still worth reading for their immense beauty. It is easy to see why Schopenhauer spoke so highly of them, they are truly up there with the finest texts to ever be produced by human minds. That they were written thousands of years ago only serves to increase the wonder a reader feels on reading them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb commentary
*by M***N on 18 February 2021*

The date of origin of the Upanishads is unclear as they were initially oral teachings. This excellent translation gives them in their simple glory. The beauty and excellence of this edition is the commentary by Juan Mascaro, one who had penetrated the mystery of Brahman and these teachings. It is from his commentary that the deeper aspects of the timeless wisdom emerges. For a further metaphysical treatment look for the book by Rene Guenon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Introduction
*by M***R on 9 March 2012*

I'd buy this book for the introduction alone. It's a masterpiece - he explains the inexplicable with simple clarity, drawing on poetry and religious words from throughout the ages, showing how all of them are saying the same thing, underneath.
