The end of the Veda — Vedânta

The Upanishads

उपनिषद्

Seated close to a teacher, the seekers of the Upanishads turned from ritual to the one question beneath all things — who am I, and what is the Self of the world? Their answer rings down the ages: Tat tvam asi, “That thou art.” These are the philosophical summit of the Veda, the wellspring the Gita and the great commentators all drink from. Read here one mantra at a time.

More to come

The Brihadâranyaka, Taittirîya, Svetâsvatara, Mândûkya and others are on their way — we are sourcing a clean public-domain translation rather than ship a poorly scanned one. A few already appear in the cross-tradition Connections.
