Answer.
Introduction
The Upanishads form the core of Indian philosophy. They are an amazing collection of writings from original oral transmissions. It is here that we find all the fundamental teachings that are central to Hinduism.
The concepts of ‘Karma”(action), 'Samsara' (reincarnation), 'Moksha' (nirvana), the ‘Atman’(soul), and the ‘Brahman’ (Absolute Almighty). They also set forth the prime Vedic doctrines of self-realization, Yoga & Meditation.
The Upanishads are summits of thought on mankind and the universe, designed to push human ideas to their very limit and beyond. They give us both spiritual vision and philosophical argument, and it is a strictly personal effort that one can reach the truth.
Upanishads
The term Upanishad (‘upa’ near; ‘ni’ down; ‘sad’ to sit) means sitting down near; this implies the students sitting down near their Guru to learn the big secret. In the splendid isolation of their forest abodes, the philosophers who composed the Upanishads contemplated upon the various mysteries of life and its creation – whether common, or metaphysical.
Time of Composition
Historians and Indologists have put the date of composition of the Upanishads from around 800 - 400 B.C., though many of the verse versions may have been written much later. In fact, they were written over a very long period of time and do not represent a coherent body of information or one particular system of belief. However, there is a commonality of thought and approach
The Main Books
Although there are more than 200 Upanishads, only 18 have been identified as presenting the core teachings. They are the Brihadaranyaka, Chandogya, Aitareya, Taittriyaka, Isa, Kena, Katha, Prasna, Mundaka, Mandukya, Svetasvatara, Kaushitaki, Maitri, Subala, Jabala, Paingala, Kaivalya & Vajrasucika.
