About this ebook
The Hindu Religious Texts also reflect the ideal examples of the Guru-Shishya Parampara, wherein knowledge maintains its perennial flow from the mentor to the disciple. Given in the form of a question-answer format, they reveal most of these mysteries of creation in a most natural, logical manner, using a variety of similes and metaphors, symbols and allusions to explain the relationship between the soul and the Lord Supreme or Brahman with a telling effect. As a matter of fact, in the absence of the Upanishads, perhaps we might not have realized the true meaning of the Veda teachings.
The Hindu Religious Texts are those eternal beacons that have been illuminating the universe with their unreachable, eternal, and ever-relevant light since its inception. Its light contains that element of immortality that has nurtured and nourished the very root of the Sanatana Dharma. It is a unique gift from India to the world for its eternal welfare. There are believed to be ten Upanishads: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Mundaka, Mandookya, Taittareeya, Eitareiya, Chandogya, and Brihadaaranyaka.
This e-book contains educative, entertaining, and enlightening stories that not only guide us on to the righteous path but also quell the unrighteous tendencies inherent in us. It is hoped that these fairy tales will not only make us spiritually richer but also morally and socially better people. Although most of the stories owe their origin to the Upanishads. Some of them have been culled from other sources as well. The idea is to reveal that element through these small stories, which are fundamental to our Indian culture and ethos. The Upanishads are called "spiritual knowledge" as they convey the essence of the Veda teachings.
