INTRODUCTION :
The word VEDA or Logo (root VID ) means Knowledge that envelopes or embraces all revealing knowedge from descent of Consciousness from Begining of Time up til now or even that which will be known in Future.
==============================================================================
My subject deals with that part of VEDA which deals with EARLY Spritual knowledge of BHARATYA (Indian) Darshan ( Experience ,-not 'philosophy' of Western Culture).
----------------------------------------------------------------
I shall try, with my limited knowledge but in my own way, to compress it into a Capsular extract to offer some idea about eleven UPANISHADS expounded by the Great SHANKARACHARYA (of the 9 Th. Century A.D).

SHWETASHWETARA UPANISHAT
The DIVINE Projects COSMOS within ITSELF , like a Spider cast out its net from within.
The Divine knows everything but no one shall ever know him in full [you can not see the whole Pacific Ocean in one glance nor can see his own face without reflection.]
The DIVINE is neither Male , nor Female nor Neuter for, THAT is SUPRA- BIOLOGICAL., and (GOD) has no Belly-button.
The DIVINE is beyond , even, all " DARK ENERGY " or EINSTEIN'S E= M.C/SQUARE.
An EFFECT can never be the FIRST CAUSE but all Effects can be the Cause of subsequent effects/events.
-------------------------------------
** Since my studenr days and more particuarly after my marrige (,when my wife Sunanda came home with three volumes containingg these Upanishands ,Edited by Swami Gambhirananda of Ramakrishna Mission) and that interested me much in the field and throughout my life. And while in U.S.A (1993 -2008) my daughter , Neela Chacko in 2007 , gave me a present 'The Upanishads' of Eknath Easwaran . After going trough that book I was Inspired to compress Upanishads to a Nutshell of this size for laymen of my level to get into this supreme dimension of Spirituaity.And these Blog is the outcome !

ISHA UPANISHAT
EVERYTHING is out of 'THAT';. Everything is within THAT
Yet, THAT is within and without Everything and everywhere.
IT is ever everywhere ,without 'movement'.
IT is faster than Light ( cf - Neutrino )
IT is all Light without HEAT.(Beyond Absolute ZRRO).
IT is without body, without defect,without nerves.
IT is purest of pure, never affected by any state or form'
IT is the only SEER,(we see , feel or hear due to THAT which is author of all MIND.
IT is all pervading and all embracing '
IT is the SELF-Evolved FIRST CAUSE, (from which all that is mutable or immutable - arise.)

MUNDAKA UPANISHAT
DESIRING 'NOTHING' from the MATERIAL Mammon -World is the best WAY (Root Source of BUDDHISM). Siddhartha was the second Revolutionary after KRISNA who gave a new religion BHAGAVATAM which was too spiritual to be popular with common rank.(The Atma Geeta , his last sermaon is one of the finest exposition of Spirituality even by Modern Scientidic interpretation.
SEEDS of MODERN SCOENC In VEDANTA :
"Anaro-ranyan ; Mahato mahiyan"
The Divine First Cause is smaller than an Atom ( Modern Quark or 'String' and larger than the coceivable GREAT (Galaxies or Cosmos).

AITAREYA UPANISHAT
To be born after DEATH, is the THIRD STATE.(Death is a transitional Phase).
'RECYCLING' is a Scientific and NATURE'S way of Renewal.
SOME VEDANTIC NAMES:
Ambhas - high above SKY// MARICH - The SKY // MARA - The Middle Region i,e Earth // APA - The ream of water in Atmosphee and below.
Appearance of life in Human form was finaised after all trials and errors(Evolution).
After the formation of life ,Self (individual) enters through the Gate-way at the crown of head. Self is the 'Root' of Conscios life.

TAITTARYA UPANISHAT
SEVEN Layers (Levels) of HEAVEN in COSMOS are vibrating effect of PRIMAL ENERGY or ' A-U-M'.
Everything and all living beings are 'Food' for some thing or some other being .
"Rayirba Etat sarbam Jat Murtang-cha , vi-murtang-cha " [sanskrit]
By that DIVINE Even Stars and all Cosmic forces are over-whelmed.
"Bhayat asya Agni-r-tapati , Vayat -tapati Surya...."(sanskrit)
The hungry has as much right to Food as the rich because , - all lives are but ONE Single UNIT( SUPREME MONISM )

PRASHNA UPANISHAT
SEX-FORCE is the Root or Vital Force at the base of spinal chord with six Centers or'Chkakras '(like rungs of a ladder) arranged upwards unto the Brain) with 7 Th Center (final) above the crown. This force can not be eleminated but only chanellised by transformation as spiritual force. [Not destruction but Transcendence].
PRANA is the VITAL ENERGY and is the LORD of all other bioogical Energies of LIFE.
* (Force & Energy are different Scientific terms ).
