TranslationsШаблон:Anchor

Шаблон:Main Easwaran's translations of the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and the Dhammapada (see article) have been critically acclaimed. Religion scholar Huston Smith is cited by the publisher as writing: "No one in modern times is more qualifiedШаблон:Snd no, make that 'as qualified'Шаблон:Snd to translate the epochal Classics of Indian Spirituality than Eknath Easwaran. And the reason is clear. It is impossible to get to the heart of those classics unless you live them, and he did live them. My admiration of the man and his works is boundless."[16] In Buddhism: A Concise Introduction[17] Smith and his coauthor Philip Novak wrote that "Our favorite translation is Eknath Easwaran's The Dhammapada. His Indian heritage, literary gifts, and spiritual sensibilities... here produce a sublime rendering of the words of the Buddha. Verse after verse shimmers with quiet, confident authority. A bonus is the sparkling 70-page introduction to the Buddha's life and teachings."Шаблон:Citation needed

Since 2009, Easwaran's three translations "have each been the best-selling translations of these scriptures in the USA."[12]Шаблон:Rp In the US in 2016, each of Easwaran's translations outsold the second best-selling translation in its category "by more than 3:1",[12]Шаблон:Rp and the second editions have together sold more than 470,000 copies.Шаблон:Citation needed

CommentariesШаблон:Anchor

"Essence of the Upanishads is a westerner's guide to this vitally important Indian text and its modern relevance to the Indian mindset and spirituality."[18]

In Essence of the Bhagavad Gita, Easwaran places the Gita's teachings in a modern context and comments on the Gita's view of the nature of reality, the illusion of separateness, the search for identity, the meaning of yoga, and how to heal the unconscious. The book views the key message of the Gita as how to resolve our conflicts and live in harmony with the deep unity of life, through the practice of meditation and spiritual disciplines.Шаблон:Citation needed

Daily readers and referenceШаблон:Anchor

Шаблон:Main God Makes the Rivers to Flow[23] is an anthology of writings from the sacred literature of the world, selected by Easwaran as useful for meditation. A larger (and earlier) version of Timeless Wisdom, it contains dozens of passages from diverse traditions, and identifies passages for particular stages in life, such as caregiving, families with small children, death and dying, grief and loss, and for building positive qualities such as patience, courage, devotion to God, and putting others first. Words to Live By[24] is a set of daily readings with Easwaran's commentary on applying the reading to daily life.Шаблон:Citation needed

The Bhagavad Gita for Daily LivingШаблон:Anchor

The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living is a manual for living a spiritual life, comprising a verse-by-verse commentary on India's timeless scripture the Bhagavad Gita. The work is in three volumes, published in 1975, 1979 and 1984 respectively, in hardcover and later also in paperback. When the first paperbacks were published the volumes were given new subtitles: the End of Sorrow;[25] Like a Thousand Suns;[26] and To Love is To Know Me.[27]

In 2020 the three-volume set was reissued as a second edition, and as a single-volume ebook.Шаблон:Citation needed

In Volume 1 (the first six chapters of the Gita) Easwaran explains how readers can begin to transform themselves, even as householders engaged in busy lives. In Volume 2 (the next six chapters) Easwaran addresses the seeming divide between scientific knowledge and spiritual wisdom, and explains how the concept of the unity of life can help people in all their relationships. In Volume 3 (the final six chapters) he makes the connection between the Self within and the Reality underlying all creation – and how to make a difference to heal the environment and establish peace in the world.Шаблон:Citation needed

Other influenceШаблон:Anchor

A variety of influences of Easwaran's life and work have been documented.

Outside of the US, Easwaran's life and teachings were profiled, along with those of a variety of other spiritual teachers, in a book published in India entitled Meditation Masters and their Insights.[64]

Easwaran's words have been included in collections of wisdom teachings, such as ones recently published by Chang (2006)[65] and Parachin (2011).[66] Quotations from Easwaran's translations have been used many times by both scholarly and popular writers.[67][68][69] Easwaran's other writings have also been quoted by various types of authors, including writers of novels and short stories,[70] popular spirituality,[71] and articles on management theory.[72] Psychiatrist Aaron Beck and his colleagues quoted from Easwaran's commentary on the Katha Upanishad.[73] The NAPRA ReView wrote that "The volume of [Easwaran's] work and the quality of his discourse suggest a man who has had a profound impact on the spiritual lives of many."[74]

Easwaran's method of passage meditation was followed by the poet Robert Lax.[75]Шаблон:Rp Near the end of his life, Lax's only reading each day was from Easwaran's book Words to Live By.[75]Шаблон:Rp

New Hampshire State Representative Latha Mangipudi reported having given then-Senator Barack Obama a copy of Easwaran's book Gandhi the Man in December 2006.[76][77]
