Advaita Vedantans come off as some Berkeleyan, German Idealist fusion. I thought it would be more Parmenidean but it seems to justify the individual experience. I don't fundamentally disagree but their monism is lacking imo in some aspects but Hinduism is pretty dope.

Radhakrishnan’s translation if you want a non-dual-leaning commentary that is a mix of Hindu religious views and the views of academia (some say he is a NeoVedantist)
Olivelle’s translation if you want notes & commentary which are from a western scholar’s (profane) view
Nikhilananda’s translation if you want a non-dual based commentary which is a more accessible and simplified abridgment of Shankara’s commentary
Gambhirananda’s translation if you want to read Shankara’s traditional non-dual commentaries on the Upanishads alongside the text itself
Anantha Rangachar’s translation if you want to read traditional Vishishtadvaita commentaries on the Upanishads

Avoid:
Mascaro’s (abridged and poor translation)
Easwaran’s (abridged and simplified)
