About the Book

Tales From The Upanishads takes readers on a journey through the timeless and profound teachings of the Upanishads, one of the oldest and most revered collections of spiritual texts in Hindu philosophy. The word "Upanishad" itself means "sit down near," a gesture of humility where the student seeks wisdom by sitting close to the teacher. These stories are rich in profound lessons, demonstrating that knowledge was never exclusive to any particular class or caste.

The book includes the story of Janashruti, the ruler who humbly approaches the simple cart driver Raikva to seek the highest truth. This story exemplifies the idea that true wisdom transcends social boundaries and can be found in unexpected places.

In the ancient days, knowledge wasn't the monopoly of a select few, and Tales From The Upanishads beautifully conveys this with captivating narratives. These stories serve as bridges, connecting the ancient wisdom with the contemporary reader, showing the universality of truth and wisdom.
