Upaniṣad
Testo sanscrito a fronte. Testo integrale
Le Upaniṣad, parte dei testi sacri della religione induista, sono costituite da trattati di estensione variabile, appartenenti ad epoche diverse, in prosa e in versi, alcune miste; l'aspirante alla verità è indotto a trascendere il piano di realtà del grossolano attraverso la contemplazione o la stimolazione della ragion pura e attraverso l'ascolto delle verità supreme sull'origine e sul destino dell'uomo. In questa edizione vengono riportate con il testo sanscrito a fronte le tredici Upanishad più antiche ("vediche"), che risalgono a un periodo compreso, con tutta probabilità, tra il 700 e il 300 a.C.

About the author
Raphael
877 books2 followersRaphael Sanzio, usually known by his first name alone (in Italian Raffaello (April 6 or March 28, 1483 – April 6, 1520) was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, celebrated for the perfection and grace of his paintings and drawings.
Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.
Raphael was enormously productive and, despite his early death at thirty-seven, a large body of his work remains, especially in the Vatican. He was extremely influential in his lifetime, but after his death the influence of his great rival Michelangelo was more widespread until the 18th and 19th centuries, when his more serene and harmonious qualities were again regarded as the highest models.
His career falls naturally into three phases and three styles, first described by Giorgio Vasari: his early years in Umbria, then a period of about four years (from 1504-1508) absorbing the artistic traditions of Florence, followed by his last hectic and triumphant twelve years in Rome, working for two Popes and their close associates.

Ottime note e bellissimi parallelismi con altre tradizioni di pensiero. Unica cosa che mi è mancata è stata l'assenza del testo in devanagari. Per il resto è stato un ottimo compagno di studi. Ringrazio tutta la comunità che ha reso possibile tale volume.
