Message of the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad

An exposition of the Brhadaranyaka Upanisad in the light of modern thought and modern needs by Swami Ranganathananda, now deceased, who was one of the most revered presidents of the Ramakrishna Order.

The book is drawn from the author's weekly lectures in the early 1980s. The lectures would regularly draw huge audiences.

This work presents only some of the more important sections of the Upanisad dealing with the philosophy and spirituality of the Upanisads that are relevant to the current age.

This is an easily readable translation of an important scripture.
