What is the goal of Upanishads?

Laymen may assume that there are contradictions within the Vedas. Some mantra says that the universe came out of Brahma. Some other mantra says that the universe came out of Vishnu. Upanishads iron out all such differences and establish that they mean one and the same. Upanishads reveal the essence of Vedic knowledge. Upanishads are based on the Vedic concept of Brahman which is the one and only supreme truth.

Religion as the Essence of Nationality

Religion forms the cornerstone of every authentic Indian home, shaping culture and defining national identity. It acts as the root and trunk of the grand Tree of Life, supporting numerous branches that represent various facets of human endeavor. Chief among these branches are Philosophy and Art, which thrive on the nourishment provided by religious beliefs. This spiritual foundation fosters a rich tapestry of Knowledge and Beauty, intertwining to create a harmonious existence. In India, religion is not merely a set of rituals but a profound force that influences thought, creativity, and societal values. It weaves together the fabric of everyday life, ensuring that the essence of being Indian remains rooted in spirituality, transcending generations and preserving the cultural heritage.
