The Ten Principal Upanishads. Put into English by Swami & Yeats. Preface by W.B. Yeats. London: Faber & Faber, 1937. First Edition. Pp, 159. Blue cloth boards in publisher’s dust jacket.

English translation of ten foundational Hindu philosophical texts by Shree Purohit Swami, an Indian mendicant and teacher, with a preface by W. B. Yeats, Nobel Prize winning poet.

This was one of Yeats’s final major works, Yeats had long been fascinated by Indian philosophy, partly through his friendship with George Russell (Æ), who often quoted the Upanishads to him.
