Answer
The Upanishads are a foundational source of Indian philosophy. They are an endeavour to explain numerous mysteries of life, to know about the relationship between the soul and the creator and to elucidate the theories of the Karma (Action), Maya (Illusion) and Mukti (Salvation) etc. They are of great historical importance because they contain valuable information about the social and religious condition of the Aryans.
