    This 300-odd page book devotes its first 147 pages to an incredibly tedious "introduction" in which the author disses whole fields of scholarship regarding the Vedas and the Upanishads for sins as varied as finding similarities between Norse mythology and some Vedic stories, for believing that the horse of the Asvamedha is an actual horse as opposed to 'rays of light', and for believing that the Vedas are only 3500 years old. Problems with several commentaries on the Upanishads and the Vedas are discussed in nauseating detail, and very many Vedic verses quoted with no corresponding translation into Malayalam which wouldn't be a problem if only the book had not pretended to be a gentle introduction to the Upanishads, the first of its kind in Malayalam. I was briefly rewarded for plodding through this section on page 103 with a luminous translation of the Nasadiya sukta, but for that I am tempted to give full credit to the sukta itself and not to Dr. Azhikode. The nasadiya sukta is difficult to mangle.

    In the second half of the book the author gets down to actually discussing the contents of the ten principal upanishads. So far I've covered only the chapters dealing with the Isavasya upanishad and the Kenopanishad. This section is definitely more of
