	Upanishad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Upanishads (उपनिषद्, Upaniṣad) are part of the Hindu Shruti scriptures which primarily discuss meditation and philosophy and are seen as religious instructions by most schools of Hinduism.
		The longest Upanishads are the Bŗhadāraṇyaka and the Chhāndogya.
		Of the early Upanishads, the Aitareya and Kauṣītāki belong to the Rig Veda, Kena and Chhāndogya to the Samaveda, Īṣa and Taittirīya and Bŗhadāraṇyaka to the Yajurveda, and Praṣna and Muṇd.aka to the Atharvaveda.

	Katha Upanishad
		The Upanishads belong to the third division of the Vedas and are appended to the Brahmanas.
		Although the Upanishads are usually considered by modern scholars to be as a whole of later date than the Brahmanas, the original Upanishads were composed in an antiquity which anteceded that of the Brahmanas, and are probably coeval with the composition of the Vedas themselves.
		Thirteen of the principal Upanishads are: Aitareya, Kaushitaki, Kena, Taittiriya, Maitri, Katha, Brihadaranyaka, Prasna, Mundaka, Mandukya, Isa, Chhandogya, and Svetasvatara.

	Upanishad - Wikipedia
		Fondamentalmente le Upanishad realizzano tutte le idee monistiche, mistiche e universali, che successivamente influenzeranno gli inni Vedici, esercitando poi un influenza senza precedenti sul resto della filosofia Indù e Indiana.
		A causa delle loro predisposizione filosofica e natura mistica comprendente sia tutti i rituali, sia i princìpi dell' Uno Brahman e dell'Atman interiore, le Upanishad sono intrise di un sentimento universale infuso nella cultura in tanti modi, culminato nella creazione delle tre scuole Vedanta.
		Le Upanishad contengono sia le prime che le definitive interpretazioni sulle parole divine, come l'Aum, la vibrazione cosmica alla base di tutta l'esistenza e contiene le trinità multiple dell'essere e i principi inclusi dell'Uno-Sè.

	The Principal Upanishads by Neria Harish Hebbar, MD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Samhitas (hymns of the Vedas) were written by poets, the Brahmanas (the methodology of rituals) by the priests and the Aranyakas (forest-books, a prelude to Upanishads) and Upanishads by philosophers.
		The Upanishad explains the real power behind the functions of the phenomenal universe and the workings of the man. It asks and answers the question as to who the Atman is. The knowledge of the Absolute (Nirguna Brahman — para vidya), leads to immediate liberation and emancipation (sadyo mukti).
		It is one of the oldest and best-known Upanishads.

	Upanishad -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		With the last component of the Veda, the mystically oriented and originally esoteric texts known as the Upanishads, Vedic ritualism and the doctrine of the interconnectedness of separate phenomena was superseded by a new emphasis on knowledge alone—primarily knowledge of the ultimate identity of all phenomena, which merely appeared to be separate.
		The term Vedanta means in Sanskrit the “conclusion” (anta) of the Vedas, the earliest sacred literature of India; it applies to the Upanishads, which were elaborations of the Vedas, and to the school that arose out of the “study” (mimamsa)...
		Though a variety of views are expressed in the Upanishads, they concur in the definition of brahma as eternal, conscious, irreducible, infinite, omnipresent, spiritual source of the universe of finiteness and change.

	LE UPANISHAD secondo Sri Aurobindo..
		Le Upanishad sono nello stesso tempo profonda scrittura religiosa, in quanto testimonianza delle più assolute esperienze spirituali, documenti di una filosofia rivelatrice e intuitiva di luce, potere e ampiezza inesauribili e, sia in prosa che in metrica, poemi spirituali di una assoluta, infallibile ispirazione costante nel linguaggio, straordinaria per ritmo ed espressione.
		Le Upanishad non avrebbero potuto avere una vitalità così perenne, esercitare una influenza così sicura, produrre tali risultati o vedere oggi le loro asserzioni autonomamente confermate in altri ambiti di ricerca e attraverso metodi completamente diversi, se fossero state opere del genere.
		C'è in alcune delle Upanishad in prosa un altro elemento di vivido racconto e tradizione che ci restituisce, sebbene solo in brevi fugaci, il quadro di quella animazione e di quel movimento di ricerca spirituale e di passione verso la più alta conoscenza che hanno reso possibili le Upanishad.

		Prior to the Upanishads, mythology and shamanism was the extent of religious knowledge and experience.
		As the myth-laden Vedas evolved into the discriminative Upanishads, the shamanistic, body-based urge for free-feeling was finally satisfied and completed in the rare air of mystic realization: the ambrosial, unchanging consciousness that witnesses all changes, all transformations, all states-- waking, dreaming, sleeping, and dying.
