Our Sanatan is a treasure trove of philosophies and life lessons. The Upanishads delve into concepts like "Self-realisation", "Brahman" or "Supreme Being" and "Atman" or "Supreme Self". Puranas grasp the concept of the Supreme power using the medium of stories. Upanishads and Vedas are technically superior in terms of philosophies and thought processes, making them challenging for common people to understand, but the Puranas present similar ideas in a more accessible and interesting story format.
