The Upanishads are the branches of the Vedas.The Vedas are the Praamaanika (highest standard) for this world. They were not written as scripts wise. They are being called as Apaurusheayas which means no human being said , just the Holy Hymns (Vedic) had been heard from the Space.
In the Upanishads, it is explained everything to us how to live and behave and what is the ultimate goal of life for reaching the highest Truth, which is Paramatma. Nishkaama Karma Renunciation and Service are the stairs to attain Supreme Soul.
Though there are 108 Upanishads are popular out of them the 11 Upanishads are very renowned.
The Cchandogya Upanishad (Cchandogyopanishad) mentions in this way in the fifth chapter
"Stheno Hiranyasya Suram Pibag scha guro sthalpa, Maavasan Brahmahaa cha ethe patanti cchatwarah panchama schaa charag sthai riti " .
Those who steal Hiranyam (Gold), who drink wine (Surapaana sevanam), Illicit association with their teacher (Guru Patni Samagamam), Assassination of a Brahma Gnani ( murdering a Self realized Soul) all these four persons come into one category of great Criminals. And the fifth one who makes friendship ( or join association ) with all the above said four Criminals , he will also become a Criminal. Hence all the five persons are called Pancha Maha Patakah (Five Great Criminals).
