This collection presents three foundational works of Indian spirituality translated by Eknath Easwaran. The series includes the Dhamapada, which offers ethical teachings; the Upanishads, exploring philosophical depths; and the Bhagavad Gita, a dialogue on duty and devotion. These texts form a core library for students of Eastern thought. The volumes are designed to be read as a group to understand the broad spectrum of traditions covered. A large print edition is also available for the Gita. Easwaran’s translations aim to make these ancient scriptures clear and relevant for modern readers seeking spiritual insight through direct engagement with primary sources.

Frequently asked about the series

What is the recommended reading order?
Readers often start with the Dhammapada for ethical grounding, then move to the Upanishads for philosophy, and finish with the Bhagavad Gita. However, each text stands alone as a complete introduction to its specific tradition.
Do these books work as standalone volumes?
Yes, each title is self-contained. You can read the Dhammapada, Upanishads, or Bhagavad Gita independently without needing the others, though they complement each other well for a broader understanding of Indian spiritual thought.
What specific texts are included in this series?
The series features translations of the Dhammapada, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita. A large print edition of the Gita is also available for readers who prefer larger text formats.
