Eknath Easwaran
The Katha Upanishad embraces the key ideas of Indian mysticism in a mythic story we can all relate to – the quest of a young hero, Nachiketa, who ventures into the land of death in search of immortality.
But the insights of the Katha are scattered, hard to understand. Easwaran presents them systematically, and practically, as a way to explore deeper and deeper levels of personality, and to answer the age-old question, “Who am I?”
Easwaran grew up in India, learned Sanskrit from a young age, and became a professor of English literature before coming to the West. His translation of The Upanishads is the best-selling edition in English.
For students of philosophy and of Indian spirituality, and readers of wisdom literature everywhere, Easwaran’s interpretation of this classic helps us in our own quest into the meaning of our lives.

However, the mere fact that this story can be retold thousands of years after its creation and it make sense is testimony to the original creator(s) genius.
The narrator is also remarkable and captures the emotion and intent behind the authors’ works with great ease.
All in all, this is one of the better books I’ve engaged in recent times. Can’t recommend it enough!

Just one qualm. Referring to the formless Brahman as he is definitely not a part of the philosophy and it's significance. I suspect it might be done to be relatable to the abrahamic listeners.
