The Upanishads are the philosophical essence of the Vedas, forming the foundation of Hindu spiritual thought. These ancient texts explore the nature of reality, consciousness, and the ultimate truth (Brahman).
Composed between 800-200 BCE, the Upanishads contain profound dialogues between teachers and students, addressing fundamental questions about existence, the self, and liberation. They introduce key concepts like Atman (the true self), Brahman (ultimate reality), Maya (illusion), and Moksha (liberation).
