सिर्र-ए-अकबर (महान रहस्य – उपनिषदों का फ़ारसी अनुवाद)

परिचय

“The Greatest Secret” (Sirr-i akbar) is the Persian translation of fifty Upanishads that Dara Shikoh had made with the help of pandits in 1657. In his preface he explains that he had searched the scriptures of many religions for the doctrine of God’s unity and found it most fully in the Upanishads, which he identified with the “hidden book” mentioned in the Qur’an (56:78). The translation includes Sufi terms and short explanations. Abraham-Hyacinthe Anquetil-Duperron translated it into Latin as Oupnek’hat (1801–02); in this form the Upanishads reached European readers, among them Arthur Schopenhauer, who read it from 1814 and called it the consolation of his life.
