Upanishads: Introduced and translated

Since the age and roots of Hinduism reach to prehistorical times, manifestations in writing emerged much later on, including the vedas and, hence, the Upanishads. However, the Upanishads have often been called the purest source of India’s spiritual tradition. The Upanishads are pertinent to the centrally religious manifestations of Hinduism. The main idea is that all living creatures inhabit the Self, which also created the world. Human beings finding their Self will also find peace upon their death, whilst meditation is the main path to find the Self. First, the Upanishads offer a noble, exalted vision of human nature. Second, the Upanishads are wrapped in a good bit of mythology and ritual. Third, the Upanishads are scientific and experiential. The Upanishads deal with all essential topics such as birth, death, and life thereafter. The manifestation promotes the idea of prioritizing the well-being of human beings instead of glorifying any godly might. The Upanishads depict a repository of picturesque writing, though most pictures from prehistorical times are no longer comprehensible in today´s world. The book deals with the mystical secretive knowledge that is conveyed by Brahmans to students. Since the manifestation in writing emerged much later in times, it has been the modus operandi to convey the knowledge orally. The Upanishads are not only an informative read, but also very lyrical verse by verse and conveys patience in repetitive knowledge transfer. Note: Upanishad = ‚sitting down near’, a mystical text given by illuminated seers, attached to the end of one of the Vedas.
