The Upanishads
The Upanishads are ancient philosophical texts in Hinduism, created around 800 to 200 BCE. They explore deep questions about reality, the self (Atman), and the ultimate cosmic principle (Brahman). Unlike the ritual-focused Vedas, the Upanishads emphasize self-realization and oneness between the individual soul and universal reality. They introduce concepts like karma and moksha, encouraging spiritual enlightenment.
