The Upanishads

The Upanishads are the concluding part of the Vedas, the oldest scripture in India and the basis of India's many Hindu sects. By avoiding a literal translation, the editors of this version give wings to the words. No one knows when The Upanishads were written or by whom, but the authors are considered to be saints or seers who recorded their own experiences, building on the supposition that the “real study in religion is first-hand experience of God.”
