Principal Upanishads (Nikhilananda, tr.)

We are pleased to announce the re-print of a long out of print title The Principal Upanishads, by Swami Nikhilananda. It is an abridgment of the translator's epic work The Upanishads in 4-volumes.

The abridged edition comprises the major Upanishads. It has a comprehensive glossary that addresses the Sanskrit terms contained in this volume, providing a variety of meaning for each word when appropriate.

By comparison, the Prabhavananda translation Upanishads: Breath of the Eternal offers the same scriptures but is more deeply edited with an emphasis on clear easy reading and few footnotes. Both books are good but will appeal to different audiences
