The Upanishads capture the quintessence of Indian spiritual wisdom -- unfolding deep-set, highly perceptive reflections on human existence and how it is related to cosmic mystery. Authored by enlightened seers, at different times, during 1500-200 b.c., the Upanishadic message inheres neither a promise of heaven, nor scare of hell. Rather, it is a magnificent vision that raises human consciousness to sublime heights.
The Taittiriya -- appended to the Krishna (Black) Yajur Veda -- is one of best among the principal Upanishads. And, schematically, is offered in three chapters, entitled: (1) Shiksha Valli, (2) Brahmananda Valli, and (3) Bhrigu Valli -- which each Swami Muni Narayana Prasad treats singly, superbly revealing the invisible thread that goes through all of them.
With origjnal Sanskrit text, its Roman transliteration and easy-to- understand English paraphrase, this stimulating, at once analytical commentary grows from Swami Muni Narayana Prasad`s prolonged reflections on the Taittiriya Upanishad, coupled with the insights he acknowledges to have gained from Nataraja Guru`s discourses on different Upanishadic themes, Narayana Guru`s mystico-philosophical poems, and numerous sessions of intellectual interaction with different groups of scholars.
