![[attachments/Isha-Upanishad.jpg|height=240]] ## Review I really liked this particular edition of the Upanishads translated and commented by Paramananda. This is a 2023 reprint of a very old book and covers three Upanishads: the Isha Upanishad, Katha Upanishad, and Kena Upanishad, of which the first one, the Isha Upanishad, was my favorite because of its profound philosophical leanings; its central message is the need to develop the ability to look within for change as much as looking externally for change. Another thing I somewhat liked about this translation is that the commentary portion is relatively less, and the focus is much more on the translation itself. Nothign spectacular here though - a decent and quick read in a nice publication format and compact size. ## Reading status - Status: Read - My rating: 3 ⭐⭐⭐ - Date started / added: 2025/10/29 - Date finished: 2025/11/19 ## Metadata - Author: Paramananda - Year: 1919 - ISBN13: ="9789389717327" - Shelves (Goodreads): — _Last updated: 2025-11-07_
