| | Upanishads |
 | | The Upanishads more clearly set forth the prime Vedic doctrines like Self-realization, yoga and meditation, karma and reincarnation, which were hidden or kept veiled under the symbols of the older mystery religion. | | | The Upanishads became prevalent some centuries before the time of Krishna and Buddha. | | | In the Upanishads the spiritual meanings of the Vedic texts are brought out and emphasized in their own right. |

| | The term ahimsa first appears in the Upanishads, and is the first of the five Yamas, or eternal vows/restraints in Raja Yoga. | | | The Uttara ("later") Mimamsa school is perhaps one of the cornerstone movements of Hinduism and certainly was responsible for a new wave of philosophical and meditative inquiry, renewal of faith, and cultural reform. | | | The Yogas provide a sort of alternate path (or faiths) that links together various Hindu beliefs, and can also be used to categorise non-Hindu beliefs that are seen as paths to mokṣha, or nirvāṇa. |

| | The Upanishads (उपनिषद्, Upanişad) are part of the Hindu Shruti scriptures which primarily discuss meditation and philosophy and are seen as religious instructions by most schools of Hinduism. | | | Most scholars agree that many of the early Upanishads were written before the time of Buddha. | | | The Upanishads basically realized all the monist and universal mystical ideas that started in earlier Vedic hymns, and have exerted an influence unprecedented on the rest of Hindu and Indian philosophy. |

| | The "Upanishads" (which means "insights" in Sanskrit) are short philosophic-religious treatises of Indian origin, in which different authors expressed their ideas about the essence of Divinity and the religious path of spiritual seekers. | | | The authors of the ancient Upanishads had four possible sources of religious information: a) a personal meditative experience (if any), b) three or four Vedas, filled with religious fairy tales and containing no specific information about the Creator, c) personal contacts with other seekers of Truth, d) written sources, like already existing Upanishads. | | | Sathya Sai Baba says [15], that in total 1180 Upanishads were written. |

| | The Upanishads constitute what we call the Vedanta (Veda-anta), the end of the Vedas, not merely because they constitute the last part of them, but above all because they are their ultimate teachings, reaching to the highest metaphysical state, beyond which is the realm of Silence. | | | So, "Upanishad" means, "be seated at the feet of the Guru to receive the teaching." | | | Traditionally, there are 108 Upanishads (major), which are as follows: |

| | In accordance with the Upanishads, the various schools of Vedanta hold that there is an ultimate entity, called Brahman, which also is referred to by scripture as "Atma" (“Self”). | | | It is for this reason that the shruti [scripture] says, `Brahman is bliss' (Taittitriya Upanishad II.6.) Since the form of cognition as joy is determined by its object, Brahman itself is joy. | | | Ramanuja's opponents are happy to affirm that certain things can be said of Brahman, for instance, that it is (as affirmed in the Taittitriya Upanishad II.i.1.) truth (satyam) knowledge (jnanam) and infinite (anantam). |
