Exploring the essence of ancient Indo-Aryan thought, this collection delves into the Upanishads, which form the wisdom segment of the Vedas. In contrast to the ritualistic Karma-Kanda, the Upanishads focus on philosophical inquiry and spiritual insight, guiding individuals toward higher understanding. Each of the four Vedas—Rik, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva—culminates in these texts, collectively known as Vedanta, representing the ultimate pursuit of wisdom and enlightenment.
