Hindu philosophical classic.

This is the most recent, accurate and complete translation of the Chandogya Upanishad into English with explanatory notes by Jayaram V, Founder President of Hinduwebsite.com, and author of 11 other books. Chandogya Upanishad is one of the oldest and the largest Upanishads, containing 629 verses arranged in 8 chapters and 154 sections. Its study is essential to understand the importance of singing Samans in Vedic sacrifices, apart from knowing the essential aspects of Hinduism and their probable origin. This edition includes introduction, original Sanskrit verses in transliterated Devanagari script, translation of each verse, explanatory notes, and bibliography. This edition forms part of the translation of the 16 major Upanishads published under three books. Jayaram V has also translated the Bhagavadgita word to word, with a detailed commentary. His other works include The Awakened Life, Brahman, Introduction to Hinduism, Essays on the Bhagavadgita, Think Success, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and Selected Upanishads.

The commentary of Shankara on the Gita is regarded as an outstanding specimen of Indian scholarship. The translator has accomplished his task in a most praiseworthy manner by giving a faithful translation, without in any way detracting from the strength or clarity of the original commentary. The inclusion of a ‘word index’ of the entire text has added to the worth of the book.

This book, first published in 1962, is an analysis of the history of the philosophy of a country that has never distinguished philosophy from religion. Indian philosophy is not merely metaphysical speculation, but has its foundation in immediate perception. This insistence upon immediate perception rather than abstract reasoning is what distinguishes the Indian philosophy of religion from philosophy as Western nations know it.
