UPANISHADS: The Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus. The following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God: 1. Ekam evadvitiyam He is One only without a second. [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1 2. Na casya kascij janita na janipah. Of Him there are neither parents nor lord. [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]2 3. Na tasya pratima asti There is no likeness of Him. [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]3 4. The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form: Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam. His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye. [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4 1 [The Principal Upanishad by S.
