The Upanishads (/uËˈpænɪˌʃædz
uËˈpÉ‘ËnɪˌʃɑËdz/;[1] Sanskrit: उपनिषदà¥
Upaniṣad [ʊpən̪ɪʂəd̪]) a part of the Vedas are ancient
Sanskrit texts that contain some of the central philosophical
concepts and ideas of Hinduism some of which are shared with
religious traditions like Buddhism and Jainism. Among the most
important literature in the history of Indian religions and culture
the Upanishads played an important role in the development of
spiritual ideas in ancient India marking a transition from Vedic
ritualism to new ideas and institutions. Of all Vedic literature
the Upanishads alone are widely known and their central ideas are
at the spiritual core of Hindus.
The Upanishads are commonly referred to as VedÄnta. Vedanta has been interpreted as the "last chapters parts of the Veda" and alternatively as "object the highest purpose of the Veda". The concepts of Brahman (ultimate reality) and Ä€tman (soul self) are central ideas in all of the Upanishads and "know that you are the Ä€tman" is their thematic focus. Along with the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahmasutra the mukhya Upanishads (known collectively as the Prasthanatrayi) provide a foundation for the several later schools of Vedanta among them two influential monistic schools of Hinduism.
