As I understand it, there are 108 Upanishads. Does anybody know the names of the other 95 Upanishada. Please - Are they on the net?

 

I would prefer a net site with devanaagarii script. Roman lettering in Sanskrit is the next best option. Least so are English translations.

 

Again kripaya

Namaste,

 

Isha Upanisad

 

“The last chapter of the Yajur Veda is actually the Isha Upanishad expressing the mystical view that the supreme spirit pervades everything.” (However it is classed as a work of the mid-Upanishad period)

 

 

Taittiriya

Aitereys

 

"The Taittiriya and Aitareya Upanishads were associated with Aranyakas of the same name. In the Taittiriya Upanishad once again Aum is emphasized, as is peace of soul. Prayers often end with Aum and the chanting of peace (shanti) three times. This may be preceded by the noble sentiment, "May we never hate."17 (17. Taittiriya Upanishad 2:1:1.) One teacher says truth is first, another austerity, and a third claims that study and teaching of the Veda is first, because it includes austerity and discipline."

 

Chhandogya – Oldest 7th C. BC.

 

"The Chandogya Upanishad belongs to the Sama Veda and is the last eight chapters of the ten-chapter Chandogya Brahmana. The first two chapters of the Brahmana discuss sacrifices and other forms of worship. As part of the Sama Veda, which is the chants, the Chandogya Upanishad emphasizes the importance of chanting the sacred Aum. The chanting of Aum is associated with the life breath (prana), which is so powerful that when the devils struck it they fell to pieces. The religious life recommended in the Chandogya Upanishad has three parts. The first is sacrifice, study of the Vedas, and giving alms; the second is austerity; and the third is studying the sacred knowledge while living in the house of a teacher. One liberal giver, who had many rest-houses built and provided with food, said, "Everywhere people will be eating of my food."15 (15. Chandogya Upanishad tr. Robert E. Hume, 4:1:1.)

 

Brhadaranyaka – Oldest 7th C. BC.

 

"The Brihad-Aranyaka has three Aranyaka chapters followed by six Upanishad chapters. The first chapter of the Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad describes the world as represented by the horse-sacrifice. The primordial battle between the gods and the devils accounts for the evil found in the senses, mind, and speech, but by striking off the evil the divinities were carried beyond death. The priest chants for profound aspiration, one of the most famous verses from the Upanishads:

 

From the unreal lead me to the real!

From darkness lead me to light!

From death lead me to immortality!12"

(12. Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad tr. Robert E. Hume, 1:3:28.)

Actually, there are more than 108 upanishads. But different Upanishads are considered important in different schools, of which about 11 are common to almost all.

 

Cheers
