I do not know if this is the right section, but is there anywhere one can get a recommendation of what translations of Sanatana Dharma texts to read? Some I am interested in (or have read) are:
Anugita, Bhagavad-Gita, Brahmanas, Gherandha Samhita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Narada Bhakti Sutra, Sankhya Karika, Shiva Samhita, Shiva Sutra, Tantras, Upanishads, Vedas, Vivekachudamani, Yoga Sutra, Yoga Vasishtha
I think I found the standard academic translations for them all (or good ones,) and I have most (feel free to ask what I think is good for any I do not mention I do not have,) but I am unsure if a complete edition of the Upanishads exists or if it is better to get various translations. I do not have the Sankhya Karika yet and might not know a good translation, and I am also having trouble finding some Brahmanas and Tantras. I am interested in all the Hatha Yoga and esoteric texts.
