Upanishads Vol 1: Ishavasya, Kena, Katha, Yogasara

by Ravi Shankar

The Upanishad means sitting close, feeling close to the Guru, being in rhythm with the Master. The Upanishads are a treasure trove of knowledge unveiling the highest truth of life. But this truth is hidden in verses that a mere reading or even logical understanding will not help decipher. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar makes these four Upanishads—Ishavasya, Kena, Katha, Yogasara—come alive with such simplicity and wit that they no longer remain ancient, esoteric scriptures.
