Overview

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Upanishads, Part 2 (1884) translated by Müller, is volume XV of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in two parts and focuses on Hinduism. It contains the eleven foundational Upanishads, told in story form and focused on philosophy. These differ from the earlier ritual-based Vedic texts. Readers wanting to learn more about Hinduism and ancient history should add this book to their personal library.
