    Non-Victorian speak Upanishads?

    Hello everyone

    Does anyone know of any copy's of the Upanishads that I could buy, that do not read like they are from Victorian London (in English)? I was hoping to buy a copy of the more popular ones in the future.

    Thanks for any help

    Namaste

    I know you are looking for the low-tech paper book, but this website has the 108 upanishads : http://www.celextel.org/108upanishads/

    There should be many publications in modern English on Amazon - although my book of the few important ones is indeed in Victorian English.

    PARAM: I'm looking for it in English, I mean by Victorian speak is if you've ever read anything by Plato for example it's more wordy than it needs to be.

    Maybe another way to put it is what copys of the Upanishads are not that hardest to read.

    Thanks for the help

    I just started reading "The Principal Upanishads" by Swami Nikhilananda published 1962. The introduction is as clear as anything I've ever read. It is a single volume abriged version of his translation in four volumes.

    There is an pdf version of the same abridged version, sans intro and footnotes.. http://www.naiveinspirations.info/do...khilananda.pdf
