The Wisdom of the Upanishads
The Wisdom of the Upanishats
Lectures on the central teachings of the Upanishads: Brahman and Atman, the states of consciousness, reincarnation and liberation. Besant presents them as the source of the ancient wisdom Theosophy sought to recover and explains them for a modern audience, Indian and Western, with no knowledge of Sanskrit.
