English translation of 30 Vedanta and Yoga Upanishads.
Among the Hindu Scriptures, the Vedas hold the pre-eminent place. The Upanishads which are culled from the Aranyaka-portions of the Vedas - so-called because they were read in the Aranya (forest) after the learner had given up the life of the world - are regarded as the Vedanta, or the end or final crown of the Vedas. Vedanta is also the end of all knowledge, since the word Veda means according to its derivation 'knowledge'. Rightly were the Upanishads so considered, since their knowledge led a person to Atma, the goal of life.
The study of Indian philosophy cannot be complete without the study of Upanishads.
K. Narayanasvami Aiyar was a great scholar of Hindu scriptures. He has authored many books including the scholarly translation of "Laghu Yoga Vasishtha".
