The Upanishads are part of the Vedas, the huge body of millennia-old writings
that are at the heart of Hindu wisdom. At the same time they represent some of
India's highest achievements in world literature. The Upanishads focus on the
nature and reality of Brahman or the universal soul. Every person's soul or
atman longs for union with the universal, and this is possible if we abandon the
transient and the material and contemplate the eternal. The path to freedom is
narrow, but The Upanishads teach that all can escape karma for true liberation.
