[INDOLOGY] Kaṭha-Upaniṣad | New Publication

[Dr. Dominik A. Haas, BA MA]

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
