An Overview of the Upanishads

The main foundational texts of Hinduism are the Vedas, and Upanishads make the core philosophical concepts described in the Vedas. Upanishads therefore can be called as the true essences of the Vedas. Most of the Upanishads are composed in the form of a teacher giving knowledge to the students and therefore the name Upanishads is given to them. Upa stands for by or near and ni-shad stands for sit down so the word Upanishad means sit down near. Not much is known about the authorship of the Upanishads, as in, who wrote them and when were they written. Since they form the part of the Vedas, Hindus consider them to be Apurushseya, which means “not of a man” and coming directly from God. In this video I will give you a brief overview of the main thought in the Upanishads
