DR E PRAVEEN KUMAR –
One cannot just stop raving about this masterly and scientific exposition of the immortal knowledge contained in the most sacred Upanishadic literature by the great teacher Pujya Swami Nikhilananda Ji. His flair for simplifying the arduous Vedantic journey is an unparalleled feat in itself. The clarity of thought and purity of purpose are self evident to the serious student of this marvellous book. In addition, the first volume contains an elaborate general introduction of the Brahman whose beauty cannot be described in words. I wish the Original Sankrit text also be included in future editions duly transliterated and translated to further enhance the value of this already invaluable book.
