    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,

    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

    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.

    Federico,

    You can try to open it in a PC/laptop just to see if the file is okay.

    Federico,

    I am not a computer expert. You could seek advice from experts on how to read pdfs in your device.
