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.
