Upanishads
The Upanishads were written between 800 B.C. and 400 B.C., which are a continuation of the Vedic philosophies. They elaborate on how the soul (Atman) can be united with the ultimate truth (Brahman) through contemplation and meditation, as well as the doctrine of Karma – the cumulative effects of a person’s actions.
