	upanishad
		The Upanishads ("Sittings Near [a Teacher]") is part of the Hindu Shruti; these religious scriptures primarily discuss philosophy and "cosmic reality"; they also contain transcripts of various debates.
		The term, Upanishad, is derived from the Sanskrit words upa (near), ni (down) and s(h)ad (to sit), i.e., sitting down near; implying the act of listening to a spiritual teacher.
		The Upanishads are sometimes argued to be a part of the Vedas; and are thus known as Vedanta ("End of the Veda").

	An introduction to the Upanishads
		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.
		The Upanishads are the first scriptures where the law of Karma first appeared as taught by Yajnavalkya (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad).
		Upanishads are the work of different authors and, apart the ‘great Upanishads’ belonging to the sruti and which are in prose, we cannot say that they constitute a strictly speaking system of philosophy, some of them being connected to certain particular sects, such as the cult of Shiva, Vishnu, Durga, Ganesha, Surya, etc.

		The Brhadaranyaka Upanishad, or the great forest of knowledge, as the significance of this title would suggest, is a veritable mine of wisdom, with its six chapters touching upon the internal meaning of almost every phase of human life.
		The word 'Upanishad' is supposed to connote a secret instruction or a hidden doctrine, secret and hidden in the sense that it purports to reveal the invisible background or reality behind the visible forms of temporal existence.
		And the Upanishad is a record of the unfolding of the mystery that lies behind phenomena.

		In the first are the metrical Upanishads, relatively smaller in size, such as Isha, Katha, Mundaka, Shvetashvatara, Taittiriya, the middle two chapters of the non-metrical Brhadaranyaka Upanishad etc. These Upanishads use symbolism sparingly, so that one can get some idea of their contents by one’s rational intellect.
		The Brhadaranyaka Upanishad begins with the detailed symbolism of the sacrificial horse, each one of whose limbs such as the face, belly, legs etc., corresponds to a specific cosmic power.
		The fifth and the sixth chapters of the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad have verses which for a gross mind appear to be ritualistic recipes for obtaining children of specific characteristics.

		The Upanishad is stating here in not unclear terms that Brahman is real, and through His reality, He bestows reality to everything else -- the mass of jivas ("souls") and matter.
		In similar terms, the Upanishad says that the essence of the concrete individual is the eye, and that of the subtle individual is the Person in the right eye.
		Of course, Sankara's Gita-bhashya glorifies Krishna/Narayana, but even Suresvara's vartika on the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad identifies the Divinity as "Kesava" (verse 167), as does his introductory verse to the Naishkarmya-siies the Divinity as "Kesava" (verse 167), as does his introductory verse to the Naishkarmya-siddhi.

		Mascaro's book was a summary of some of the important passages from the Upanishads, and soon I remembered that all those hymns and verses, we, the students of the National College in Bangalore, used to sing in such reverberating voices, everyday in the college quadrangle before the classes began, were all taken from the Upanishads.
		The difficulty with the Upanishads lies in the fact that the concepts therein are often expressed in the form of riddles, images and suggestions.
		Although as said earlier, offering the translations of the Upanishads has been the sole purpose of the author, such explanations are very essential for the general reader in order to relate to the concepts expressed in these scriptures.
