About the Book

Volume III consists of ten Upanishads. Seven take an analytical approach in their teachings: Taittiriya, Aitareya, Mandukya, Prashna, Mundaka, Kena, and the Katha Upanishads. These analytical Upanishads no longer build on the Vedic yajña or fire sacrifice as their theological foundation as did Volume I The Brihad Aranyaka and Volume II Chandogya Upanishads. Instead the Taittiriya, for example, analyses the five kośas or "containers" that make up our existence in this physical world: our food container (anna-maya-kośa), our breath container (prāṇa-maya-kośa), our mental container (mano-maya-kośa), our intellect container (vijñāna-maya-kośa), and our joy container (ānanda-maya-kośa). The Mandukya Upanishad provides an analysis of four states of awareness, a waking state, a dream state, a deep sleep state, and a mystical state. The Mundaka Upanishad even criticizes Vedic ritual as inferior and just a distraction to the attainment of brahma. The final three Upanishads, Kaushitaki, Isha and the Shvetashvatara are the devotional Upanishads as they offer prayers to that ultimate power brahma for salvation and protection in this world. They are the precursors of devotion (bhakti) best found in an even later work, the Bhagavad Gita, which is highly theistic in its devotion to Krishna.

About the Author :
Born in Canada, Shukavak N. Dasa found an early interest in India and Hindu philosophy which led to a Bachelor's degree in Sanskrit literature, a Master's in Sanskrit grammar, and a Doctorate in South Asian Studies from the University of Toronto. Shukavak Dasa regularly lectures on Hinduism and has been instrumental in developing Hindu Temples in the United States and Canada. He has performed thousands of Hindu weddings as well as other Hindu rituals in North America, Europe, and India.This translation has been made by a Westerner who is also a practitioner. Given the author's Western perspective and knowing the distinction between faith and belief, he has worked with these sacred texts to find relevant meaning for who he is as a Westerner schooled in the West, but who is deeply involved in India and Hindu traditions. www.Shukavak.com
