Prasthanatrayi

Prasthanatrayi is a big word that refers to three important books in Hinduism: the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Brahma Sutras.

The Upanishads are like stories that teach us important lessons about life, God, and the universe. They were written a long time ago by very wise people who wanted to teach us about the world.

The Bhagavad Gita is a long poem that tells the story of an important conversation between Lord Krishna and a warrior named Arjuna. In the story, Lord Krishna teaches Arjuna about how to live a good life and how to be a good person.

The Brahma Sutras are a collection of very old texts that help us understand Hindu philosophy and ideas about the world.

Together, these three books are very important for people who follow Hinduism because they help us learn about God and how to live a good life.
