  • Isa-Upanishad  ( 1 items )

    This Upanishad desires its title from the opening words
    Isa-vasya, "God-covered."  The use of Isa (Lord)--a more personal
    name of the Supreme Being than Brahman, Atman or Self, the names
    usually found in the Upanishads--constitutes one of its
    peculiarities.   It forms the closing chapter of the Yajur-Veda,
    known as Shukla (White).

    Oneness of the Soul and God, and the value of both faith and
    works as means of ultimate attainment are the leading themes of
    this Upanishad.   The general teaching of the Upanishads is that
    works alone, even the highest, can bring only temporary happiness
    and must inevitably bind a man unless through them he gains
    knowledge of his real Self.   To help him acquire this knowledge
    is the aim of this and all Upanishads.

  • Bhagavad Gita  ( 19 items )

    The Bhagavad Gita is technically part of Book 6 of the Mahabharata, although it is known to be a later accretion to the saga, which stands on its own merits. It is a dialog between the God Krishna and the hero Arjuna, taking place in a timeless moment on the battlefield before the climactic struggle between good and evil. The Gita (which can be found in hotel bedstands throughout India) is a classic summary of the core beliefs of Hinduism. It has had a significant influence far beyond Hinduism. Ghandi was dedicated to reading the Gita. This copy of the Bhagavad Gita is a translation by the Gita Society, a 501c3 non-profit.
