Upanishads (Deluxe Silk Hardbound), The Review: Beautiful to look at, beautiful to read - First of all, this book is beautiful just to look at, even before opening it. I was so surprised and happy to find Nachiketa's meeting with Yamraj in it; I have always loved that story. This isn't meant to be a deep or scholarly book, and it is quite short, but it gives you a good taste of what the Upanishads can be. Review: Easy to Read and Understand - When embarking on a journey into the unknown, it is useful to have a guide who knows the way. Swami Paramananda thoroughly understands the Upanishads in his beautifully bound book. There are at least 108 Upanishads. Of those, around 10 are considered to the 'major' ones. Swami Paramananda explains and elucidates three of these: the Isa, the Katha, and the Kena Upanishads. The Upanishads come from the four Vedas. The Vedas are a treasure trove of ancient wisdom. They contain mantras and instructions for use in rituals and sacrifices. They also contain teachings about the ultimate nature of existence, and eschatological teachings explaining the identity of the soul (Atman) with the Absolute (Brahman). These teachings are the Upanishads. The teachings are often couched in charming stories such as the story of Nachiketas. Swami Paramananda clearly explains and elaborates the meaning and importance of each the three Upanishads. Though written in the beginning of the 20th century, it is so clear, well written, and easy to understand, it could have been written yesterday. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,669 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Hindu Rituals & Practice (Books) #5 in Upanishads #7 in Renaissance Literary Criticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,665) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.5 x 6 inches | | Edition | Deluxe | | ISBN-10 | 9389717329 | | ISBN-13 | 978-9389717327 | | Item Weight | 10.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 184 pages | | Publication date | December 1, 2020 | | Publisher | PRAKASH | ## Images ![Upanishads (Deluxe Silk Hardbound), The - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wU6gcWRSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful to look at, beautiful to read *by J***R on March 13, 2026* First of all, this book is beautiful just to look at, even before opening it.

While limited to 3, It’s a great edition to any collection, and it’s very difficult to find all the Vedic Upanishads in one book. From IEP: “ The Vedic Upaniṣads are widely recognized as being composed during two chronological stages. The texts of the first period, which would include the Bṛhadāraṇyaka (BU), Chāndogya (CU), Taittirīya (TU), Aitareya (AU) and Kauṣītakī (KsU), are generally dated between 700 and 500 B.C.E., and are considered to predate the emergence of the so-called heterodox traditions, such as the Buddhists, Jains, and Ājīvikas. Scholarly consensus dates the second stage of Vedic Upaniṣads, which includes the Kena (KeU), Kaṭha (KaU), Īśā (IU), Śvetāśvatara (SU), Praśna (PU), Muṇḍaka (MuU), Māṇḍūkya (MaU), and Maitrī (MtU), between 300-100 B.C.E” -IEP ## Frequently Bought Together - The Upanishads (Deluxe Silk Hardbound) - Bhagavad Gita (Deluxe Silk Hardbound) - The Holy Vedas ; Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, Atharva Veda --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/343734331-upanishads-deluxe-silk-hardbound](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/343734331-upanishads-deluxe-silk-hardbound) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
