Hinduism without the Upanishads is a theory of ritualism, with no philosophy to make it a full Science of self-perfection. And the Upanishads without the Kathopanishad will become a literature without alphabets! So important is the position of Kathopanishad; it is the backbone of Hinduism. Without the help of this Upanishad neither in theory can Hinduism be complete nor can a practitioner confidently enter the field of Hinduism and try to live it fully.

This book comes from the silver tongue of Swami Chinmaya, who so efficiently roars thee ringing tunes of the Truth-declarations, made by the Rishis of old.
