His organisation Isha has 2 ashrams, one in Missippi, US and a bigger one in Coimbatore, India.
Seems to have quite the following as well as is evident by some of the discussions from diverse[1] set of people
What I am doing - starting with Upanishads (aka Vedanta, literally the end part of Vedas, where you get the gist), there are 10 major ones which come with commentary by Adi Shankaracharya. Remaining are not minor in the sense of importance, just that you get to them once you grasp the major ones first as they come without the authoritative commentary. They are overall philosophical in nature.
Next come the Puranas. Again there are about 8-10 of these. These contain most of the stories or the 'mythology' which we heard in our childhood and read in the books.
There are many more but I guess I'll start here and see where it takes me.

Could you please point to the resources and translations you are using?
Otherwise if you can read Hindi and manage to find physical or electronic versions, would recommend Gita Press versions. English ones often come with a multitude of pronunciation symbols (due to the limits of English) which unaccustomed readers may find a bit irritating.
