The Early Upanisads: Annotated Text and Translation (South Asia Research)
1993
From the citation for the A.K.
Ramanujan Book Prize for Translation for 1996 awarded
by the
Association for Asian Studies:
"A corpus of Sanskrit prose and poetic works, the Upanisads
are among the most important religious and literary texts of ancient India.
Presenting secret doctrines mainly in the form of dialogues between teachers
and students of sacred learning, the Upanisads contributed substantially to
the development of philosophical ideas in Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
Patrick Olivelle’s elegent, lucid, and accurate renderings capture the power
and beauty of these ancient texts.
His terse English prose matches the spare style of the
dialogues in the original, while the poetic passages evoke the lyrical
spirit of the Sanskrit in full measure. His refusal to archaize his
translation of these sacred texts, which are so far removed from us in time
and in cultural contexts, is refreshing and very effective, resulting in
dialogues vivid with the tones and rhythms of living , spoken language.
While specialists will revel in the depth, originality and impartial spirit
of Olivelle’s scholarship, the author has aimed his work above all at an
audience of uninitiated readers. His historical introduction to the Vedic
religion and society out of which the Upanisads arose is at once magisterial
and eminently accessible, yet his greatest achievement is his ability to let
the translation speak for itself. At every point his renderings offer new
insights to these enigmatic texts.
Patrick Olivelle tells us that one of his goals in
translating the Upanisads is to illuminate the distant past of India for the
reader, but as he himself remarks in another context, a text is a living
reality, not an artifact to be excavated. By making the far near, and by
letting these ancient voices speak to us in all their humanity, Patrick
Olivelle has made the Upanisads a living reality for us. In doing so, he has
acted fully in the spirit of A.K. Ramanujan, the poet-scholar-translator for
whom this prize was named."

First Published 1900
"...It has been repeatedly asked, 'Of what possible use can the
republication, translation and editing of books like Thiruvasagam be?' - and 'Who can be
expected to desire make themselves acquainted with such works?' ... If the Tamil people
and the English are ever in a degree to understand one another, and to appreciate each
other's thoughts and feelings regarding the highest matters... our English people must
have the means of obtaining some insight into the living system which exercises at the
present day such a marvelous power over the minds of the great majority of the best Tamil
people. For under some form or other, Saivaism is the real religion of the South of India
and of North Ceylon; and the Saiva Siddhanta philosophy has, and deserves to have, far
more influence than anyother. The fifty one poems (of the Thiruvasagam) ... are recited
daily in all the
great Saiva temples of South
India, are on every one's lips and are as dear to the vast multitudes of excellent
people there, as the Pslams of David are to Jews and Christians..."

*How
to Become a Hindu
 , A Guide for Seekers and
Born Hindus, 2000
Note from Publishers: What is it like to enter an Asian religion fully? And how does a Hindu
recharge his faith with deeper meaning and life-guidance? Stories from Americans, Canadians and Europeans recounting their dramatic,
sometimes intense, passage from Western faiths to Hinduism vivify and clarify this historic religious pattern. As pioneers, their tales will
fascinate metaphysical and religion readers. Marriage between couples of differing faiths is more and more commonplace. Indo-Americans who
are Hindu are often marrying outside their religion, and eventually face upsetting challenges in their married life.
'How to Become a Hindu'
offers honest reflection and recommendations for these couples. For Hindu/yoga
leaders ordained and lay the book is the first-ever how-to guide, an immensely useful tool explaining each step of the way into
Hinduism. The core meaning of Hindu identity and Hindu openness to newcomers is explored with stimulating insight, clear perception and
powerful voices from India's great thinkers. This handsome, fully illustrated volume includes an extensive list of Hindu names and cogent
comparisons between world faith beliefs. Inquiries about the book may
also be addressed to

On Sathya Sai Baba...
* Samuel H. Sandweiss -
Sai Baba the Holy Man and the Psychiatrist
 ".... Everyone is a guru. The bookstores, filled with books supposedly
showing the way, attest to this fact. But nothing seems to work. We are lost in a myriad
of ideas, a confounding whirlwind of impressions and experiences without direction or
discipline...to many of us,
a search
for fundamental answers to personal and social problems seems futile and meaningless.
My own search for meaning and understanding led to a
medical education and then into the field of psychiatry. But nine years of psychiatric
training and practice, and a comprehensive investigation by-participation of what one
might call the "human-potential movement" provided few answers...Is there really
such a thing as humanity's infinite potential - an ability to so transform one's
consciousness as to discover and merge with a divine, infinite or eternal dimension of
being? I was beginning to be convinced that such a search was an exercise in futility. In
such a mood I turned to the East . . . and came upon Sai Baba. Here was a teacher - a
scientist of consciousness - who taught that our true nature is not bound by time or
space, and is in fact infinite, immutable, eternal. ... His followers believe that Sai
Baba's life itself is concrete proof of his possession of knowledge profound enough, and
energy sufficiently powerful, to help them achieve the deepest kind of
self-realization....
But how can one determine whether this Indian mystic and holy man, still obscure to the
West, is even a fraction of what his followers believe him to be? .... This book is an
attempt to describe my direct observation and personal experience of some of these powers.
It is the outcome of a soul's struggle to comprehend phenomena in which the West does not
generally believe. I have tried to prepare the Western reader for the alien territory
which he will encounter here and to relate what I observed to psychiatric concepts with
which most of us are at least somewhat familiar...."

The Way to Self-Realization & Liberation in This Age Paperback / Published 1993
"...There are many fields of knowledge but there is only one supreme
knowledge. This supreme knowledge is self-knowledge, the knowledge of the immortal self.
It is the knowledge of your unchanging reality, your
true self - that which was never born and which will never die. There are many other
types of knowledge. There are the different fields of art, science, commerce and
education. But, these will only help you to gain some transitory worldly objectives and
worldly pleasures. To realize the eternal bliss that is your own true nature you must have
self-knowledge. It is the only knowledge that enables you to know the inner peace and the
unending joy which is your own truth, your real identity. When you shine with self
knowledge, you become love itself. You become pure and completely selfless. Then you will
always be in perfect harmony with all existence..." |
