Quote

The Upanishads
has now been expanded and brought out in two volumes, with much new material published for the first time in book form. The single volume The Upanishads has been discontinued, with all its content included in the two new volumes, each available as an independent book.

The Upanishads -I   Isha Upanishad

"The Isha Upanishad is the gospel of a divine life in the world and a statement of the conditions under which it is possible and the spirit of its living," writes Sri Aurobindo in one of the commentaries that make up this book. He had a special interest in this Upanishad, and translated and commented on it a number of times before presenting his final interpretation in a terse, 75-page analysis. In the present volume that final translation and analysis are followed by ten earlier commentaries, also containing much of interest. All of them help us understand "the object of our existence, which is to manifest … the glory of the divine Life and the divine Being". 597pp

ISBN 8170587492 pb 15.95

The Upanishads - II Kena and Other Upanishads

The Kena Upanishad is concerned "with the relation of mind-consciousness to Brahman-consciousness", writes Sri Aurobindo in his commentary on this work. "The material world and the physical life exist for us only by virtue of our internal self and our internal life. According as our mental instruments represent to us the external world, according as our vital force in obedience to the mind deals with its impacts and objects, so will be our outward life and existence." Along with Sri Aurobindo's final translation of and commentary on the Kena, this book includes his translations of six other Upanishads as well as several other translations and commentaries, and essays such as 'The Philosophy of the Upanishads'. 449pp

Lights on the Upanishads
by T.V. Kapali Sastry

Within the purview of the six vidyas discussed here, Sri T.V. Kapali Sastry has hinted at several modes of consolidation of Sadhana. 191pp
