Upanishads

Upanishads are the last part of the Vedas under Sruti. And each of the 4 Vedas namely Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva…… have Upanishads at its end. Upanishads are the highest philosophies that are discussed about the creation of this Universe and the Supreme God – Para Brahman.   Most of them are dialogues between Guru and Sishyaas and known as Samvaada.  Brahma Sutra is again an abridged version of the description of Para Brahman.  There is a saying that one will not understand Upanishads, unless he has understood the basics of philosophy from the other scriptures like Bhagavad Gita, Puranaas ….. etc.,
