Partjob123,

I checked the download links of all the volumes. There is nothing wrong. I think you made some mistake while downloading. Please try again. It will work.

Akoz said...

link of volume 3 is wrong.

shankara said...

Akoz,

The link for volume 3 was wrong in the beginning. Now, it is Chandogya Upanishad Part 1 as it should be. So, I think there is nothing wrong now.

Otherwise, please explain what is wrong.

Mishraji,

The files in your folder are the same as the ones posted by me. I think you did not notice this fact.

Hello Shankar,

Please read the post carefully and unhurriedly, before replying.

Very clearly I mentioned that, I have additional: Shankarachrya's bhashya on Mandukya, Brihadaranyaka Upnishads (& also Madhava’s commentary on major Upanishads) available in my shared directory. Your post doesn’t have these. I just wanted to make your list complete.

I appreciate your effort and I too, tried to contribute something rather than sitting idle.

Thanks & regards,
Sabyasachi Mishra

shankara said...

Mishraji,

Thanks for your words of appreciation. I really admire your commitment to this noble work.

I too have these books (commentaries on Brihadaranyaka & Mandukya). But, I have not included them in this post because they were not published as part of this series.

I am now adding their links at your suggestion, so that it will benefit those who do not have these e-books.

Hello Shankara,

Nikhilananda's translation of Mandukya & Karika, is better than the translation, I posted. I was searching for it.

Thanks a lot for your post.
