### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful, timeless; amazing translation.
*by R***O on January 13, 2011*

This was my first introduction to the Upanishads, but it is still my favorite years later. I have bought several copies of this version, because I keep giving them away to people. I feel everyone seeking spiritual Truths MUST read this. In my daily life I often recommend the Upanishads to any spiritual seeker or philosophy lover, and always in this translation. I have read a few other translations, some of them being those that are most popular and readily available in bookstores, and while those translations were generally beautiful and helpful, they didn't seem to be on par with Swami Prabhavananda's rendering and interpretation. I once had a World Religions professor who made us answer on every test that EVERY translation is an interpretation. This couldn't be more true, even reading the original work of something is an interpretation within your own mind.The Upanishads are hundreds, even thousands of years old. They rank among the oldest of spiritual literature in existence, and are still practiced today. The amazing part about the Upanishads is how they are still advanced philosophy all these years later. They paint a beautiful and complete cosmology in a poetic and philosophical manner even today. It still blows my mind that these are so old, yet so intricate and profound. It just goes to show that Truth is eternal, unchanging with time. And that our ancestors were not the primitive fools that the currently accepted paradigm makes them out to be. The Upanishads rank among my favorite of all spiritual books from any religion. Which is important to me because as a student of comparative religions I have read many spiritual books from all the major religions, even though I am still young.This is my favorite interpretation to date, not only because I feel it in the depth of my being, but because it is clear, concise, and fluid. Many other translations keep the Upanishads in verse, making them rigid and a bit more difficult to get the full meaning from while being rendered into another language. This translation is mostly in prose and reads like a story or essay--as the preface states: "With minor exception the original Sanskrit here rendered is verse. With minor exception we have employed prose." I have read a few books by Swami Prabhavananda and all have been of superb caliber, his genius and spiritual understandings shine through in every sentence and concept.It is good to read several translations of a deep and symbolic spiritual work--that goes for all religions. The more translations you read the more you get a deeper understanding of what was originally intended by the creator and their native language. Don't miss this, and if you only read one translation, let it be this one!

This is a collection of the very best writings of the ancient Vedantic Seers.Keep it near your reading chair. Pick it up now and then. Open it anywhere. Much here to contemplate...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Translation Capturing the Spiritual Essence
*by A***E on August 26, 2018*

Upanishads: Breath of the Eternal by Swami Prabhavananda & Frederick Manchester is an excellent translation that really seems to capture the profound Spiritual Essence. I read other translations and noticed there are wild differences in how the meaning is conveyed into English. Literal translation seems to make no sense at all. I also read a more "poetic" version of a translation which was also beautiful, but it lost some of the more advanced spiritual understanding. This particular version from Swami Prabhavananda is the best I've found so far. The translation captures the overall essence in way that can be understood in English. At the same time, it still has poetic substance and flow. And it is most definitely imbued with great Spiritual Depth. I believe a lot depends on the actual spiritual understanding of the translator. Words chosen in a translation will inevitably be colored by the translator's perception of the actual content. This version comes from a translator with impressively credible knowledge and direct spiritual experience. This becomes very evident when you read it. Highly inspirational, this resonates with me like no other. And it continues to amaze me every time I re-read it.
