Vedas and Upanishads for Children

Three thousand years ago, deep inside the forests of India, a great ''thought revolution'' was brewing. In those forest labs, the brightest thinker-philosophers contemplated the universe, reflected on ancient texts called the Vedas and came up with startling insights into questions we still don''t have final answers to, like:

What is the universe made of?
How do I know I''m looking at a tree when I see one?
Who am I?

My body, my mind, my intelligence, my emotions, or none of the above? And where did they put those explosive findings? In a sprawling body of goosebumpy and fascinating oral literature called the Upanishads! Intimidated? Don''t be! For this joyful, fun guide to some of India''s longest-lasting secular wisdoms, reinterpreted for first-time explorers by Roopa Pai, is guaranteed to keep you turning the pages.
