Dear colleagues,
I’m happy to announce the publication of my second monograph (this time
in German): /Vom Feueraltar zum Yoga. Kommentierte Übersetzung und
Kohärenzanalyse der Kaṭha-Upaniṣad/ (“From Fire Altar to Yoga: Annotated
Translation and Coherence Analysis of the Kaṭha-Upaniṣad”), available
from Heidelberg Asian Studies Publishing. The book is Open Access and
can be downloaded and ordered here: https://doi.org/10.11588/hasp.1329
“The Kaṭha-Upaniṣad is a Sanskrit text composed about 2000 years ago
dealing with the nature of human beings after death. As one of the
earliest sources that teach a salvific method designated as yoga, the
Kaṭha-Upaniṣad has gained renown outside of South Asia. However, due to
its textual heterogeneity, it has often been said to be incoherent.
In this study, Dominik A. Haas offers a new annotated German translation
of the text and analysis using text-linguistic methods. He argues that,
from the beginning, the Kaṭha-Upaniṣad was conceived as a compilation
intended to combine new contemplative and yogic teachings with the
ritual mysticism of the famous Vedic fire altar.”
I hope you can make use of it!
Best regards,
D. Haas
