About this book
Isha Upanishad by Unknown opens a window onto a compact, luminous scripture that has guided seekers for millennia. This ancient text—part of the White Yajur‑veda and one of the classical Upanishads—unfolds in just 18 verses yet addresses timeless themes: the nature of the Self (Atman), the unity of Brahman, right action, renunciation, and the balance between worldly duty and spiritual insight.
Rooted in the oral tradition of sitting near a teacher, the Isha Upanishad (also Ishavasya) reflects the concise philosophical power of the Ancient Texts genre. Composed during the first half of the first millennium BCE (chronology debated), it occupies a central place in Vedanta and was one of the principal Upanishads commented on by Shankara; later thinkers such as Schopenhauer praised its profound wisdom. Its key word, Isha, denotes the lord or ruler, and the text famously frames the world as pervaded and enveloped by the divine.
Ideal for students of Eastern philosophy, meditation practitioners, and anyone curious about the roots of Vedantic thought, this audiobook offers a serene, thought‑provoking encounter with one of India’s most influential spiritual poems.
