The Principal Upanishads

by S. Radhakrishnan

Human nature is not altogether unchanging but it does remain sufficiently constant to justify the study of ancient classics. The problems of human life and destiny have not been superseded by the striking achievements of science and technology. The Upanishads though remote in time from us, are not remote in thought.  The Upanishads illustrate and illuminate these primary experiences.
