The 108 Upanishads are considered the essence of all the
Vedas, and Sri Isopanisad is foremost among them. Discover the distilled
essence of all knowledge in these eighteen enlightening verses.
For thousands of years, people on a spiritual quest have consulted
the mystical, intensely philosophical Upanishads. As the name implies
(upa-near; ni-down; shad-to sit), one is advised to sit near a spiritual
teacher to learn. To learn what? This Upanishad's name gives the clue:
Isha means "the supreme controller". Let us sit near the spiritual
guide to learn about the supreme controller: God.
The process is simple, provided one learns from an authentic guide.
The translation and commentary of Srila Prabhupada strictly adheres to
the book's intention, assuring you of a legitimate understanding of the
depths of Upanishadic knowledge.
