The Upanishads are mystical texts of India that form an essential part of Vedanta literature. From them have emerged various spiritual movements such as Advaita Vedanta and the Bhakti Movement.

Classical Sanskrit is the language used in the Vedanta tradition, and its method of conveying knowledge is a form of spiritual transmission that speaks directly to the soul of the attentive reader. The clarity of expression is such that the verses can be understood by the mind, felt by the heart, and, most importantly, experienced by the spirit.

Reading Vedanta opens the intuitive faculties of the mind, expands the heart toward universal love, transforms one's inner attitude and worldview, and touches one's outer life.

Using the ancient and simple device of storytelling, the author has elucidated the concepts found in these mystical texts. These essays and stories explore contemporary life-styles and challenges, while also offering solutions hidden within the wisdom of the Upanishads.
