Much of the original text of the Upanishads is archaic, and occasionally corrupted, but it does convey a moral and ethical thrust that is abundantly clear. Alan Jacobs uses modern free verse to convey the essential meaning and poetry of the original text. He omits Sanskrit words as far as possible, and the commentary provided is contemporary rather than ancient. A wonderful new translation for the general reader of these crucial works of self-understanding for a new century.
