The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Upanishads, Part 1 (1879) translated by F.Max M?ler, is volume I of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in two parts and focuses on Hinduism. It is considered the foundation of Indian literature. The focal point of the Upanishad is on philosophy and meditation rather than on rituals of other Vedic texts. The term "Upanishad" relates to gaining knowledge, and readers wanting to learn about Hinduism religion should add this book to their personal library.
