  1. 1. The Principal Upanisads

    Edited with Introduction, Text, Translation and Notes

    A comprehensive presentation of the major Upanishads that pairs Sanskrit text and transliteration with a clear English translation, extensive introductions, and explanatory notes, illuminating teachings on Brahman, Atman, the identity of self and ultimate reality, liberation, and the ethical-spiritual foundations of Vedanta. It situates these ancient dialogues in their historical and cultural contexts, clarifies symbols and methods such as neti neti and meditation, and underscores their ongoing relevance to metaphysics, psychology, and the human quest for meaning.

  2. 2. A Sourcebook In Indian Philosophy

    An accessible anthology and interpretive guide presenting key texts and doctrines from India’s major philosophical traditions, arranged historically and thematically with selections, translations, and succinct introductions; it surveys Vedic and Upanishadic foundations, orthodox systems (Sāṃkhya, Yoga, Nyāya, Vaiśeṣika, Mīmāṃsā, Vedānta) as well as Buddhist and Jain contributions, and offers comparative commentary that illuminates debates about reality, knowledge, ethics, and spiritual practice, making it both a scholarly reference and a readable introduction for general readers.
