You can't change the faith icon on your own. Mods can do it for you if you ask them.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I would suggest you read something more consolidated, rather than the Upanishads at first, like the Bhagavad Gita. Make sure you get the one by Shankaracharya, I found that to be the best because the author doesn't force his interpretations on you. That way you get to come to your own conclusions after getting a little insight from him, which is how true Vedanta works anyway. After that, you could start reading the Upanishads, to grasp deeper philosophical and scientific concepts of Vedism.
And when you're reading the Bhagavad Gita, make sure you see "farther" than the plain meaning, so to speak. A lot of what is said in the Bhagavad Gita holds a lot of symbolism to "contain" abstract concepts and higher ideas, so try and see beyond the common point (which unfortunately is something I didn't find in the translation by Prabhupada).

Our individual soul is the immortal and spiritual body of light that animates life and reincarnates again and again until all necessary karmas are created and resolved and its essential unity with God is fully realized. Aum.
A part of Infinite Consciousness becomes our own finite consciousness, with powers of discrimination and definition and with false conceptions. He is, in truth, Prajapati and Vishva, the Source of Creation and the Universal in us all. This Spirit is consciousness and gives consciousness to the body. He is the driver of the chariot.
Krishna Yajur Veda, Maitri Upanishad 2.5
