She is taking a part-time interfaith course, and has the Penguin translation, but would like something " better " . On searching the internet websites for books, I have found so many versions, translated at various times over many decades, that I need some advice! Do you know of a suitable bookshop that might be able to help? Or do you have any definite recommendations?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 >Dear Anne, In response to your inquiry, please consider the translation by Swami Nikhilananda. It was recommended by the director of the SRV (Sarada Ramakrishna Vivekananda organization.) You can obtain more information by writing them at the email on their site www.srv.org. This edition should also be readily available through the Vedanta Society bookstores. I've seen it here in Seattle and in Los Angeles. Both of them have on-line bookstores. esther > > > >Sri Ramakrishnaya Namah >Vivekananda Centre London >http://www.vivekananda.co.uk > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Om Namah Sivaya Dear Anne, You can order Upanishad books from Sri Ramakrishna Math in india : http://www.sriramakrishnamath.org/books/elist.asp?ProductType=MA08 You can also buy series of discourses in English by Swami Ranganathananda. I recently bought his Bhagavad Gita discourses, I found them to be excellent, he first reads out in Sanskrit and then gives english translation and explains how we could apply it in our life.
