	Upanishad - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Upanishads are mystic or spiritual interpretations on the Vedas, their putative end and essence, and thus known as Vedānta ("the end of the Vedas").
		The longest Upanishad are the [[Brihadaranyaka]] and the [[Chandogya]].
		Of the early Upanishads, the Aitareya and Kauṣītāki belong to the Rig Veda, Kena and Chāndogya to the Samaveda, Īṣa and Taittirīya and Bŗhadāraṇyaka to the Yajurveda, and Praṣna and Muṇd.aka to the Atharvaveda.

	Different Classes of Upanishads
		As to other Upanishads, and their number is very large, which either stand by themselves, or which are ascribed to the Atharva-veda, it is extremely difficult to fix their age.
		Where two or three or four Upanishads contain the same story, told almost in the same words, they are not always copied from one another, but they have been settled independently, in different localities, by different teachers, it may be, for different purposes.
		All the difficulties which occur in the Upanishads occur here, and no critical student who knows the difficulties that have to be encountered in determining the relative age of the four Gospels, will feel inclined, in the present state of Vedic scholarship, to speak with confidence on the relative age of the ancient Upanishads.

	History of Yoga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Explicit examples of the concept and terminology of yoga appear in the Upanishads (primarily thirteen principal texts of the Vedanta, that are the culmination of all Vedic philosophy).
		Very Upanishadic (scientific) in its notions, worship of Gods is a secondary means of focus on the higher being, a conduit to realization of the Divine Ground.
		While Yoga is a religion to many, most practitioners in the west separate yoga from its spiritual goal, seeing yoga strictly as an exercise/fitness regimen, or an overall program of keeping physical and emotional wellbeing.

	VII. Maitrâyana-Brâhmana-Upanishad
		What imparts to this Upanishad, according to my opinion, an exceptionally genuine and ancient character, is the preservation in it of that peculiar Sandhi which, thanks to the labours of Dr. von Schroeder, we now know to be characteristic of the Maitrâyana-sâkhâ.
		The Upanishads are to my mind the germs of Buddhism, while Buddhism is in many respects the doctrine of the Upanishads carried out to its last consequences, and, what is important, employed as the foundation of a new social system.
		The spiritual freedom of the Sannyâsin becomes in Buddhism the common property of the Sangha, the Fraternity, and that Fraternity is open alike to the young and the old, to the Brâhman and the Sûdra, to the rich and the poor, to the wise and the foolish.

	Upanishad - Gurupedia
		The term Upanishad derives 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 commentaries on the Vedas, their putative end and essence, and thus known as Vedanta ("End of the Veda").
		Of the early Upanishads, the Aiterya and Kaushitaki belong to the Rig Veda, Kena and Chandogya to the Sama, Isha and Taittereya and Brihadaranyaka to the Yajur, and Prasna and Mundaka to the Atharva.

	Hindu Way of Life!
		The Upanishads are the concluding portions of the Brahmanas and are enshrining the essense of Vedic teaching.
		Upanishads happen to be the most foremost authorities of the Vedanta system of Philosophy that developed in later times in different forms.
		The highest knowledge of the Ultimate Truth is taught in the Upanishads and these are considered as the eternal, most authoritative, infalliable revelations and most all schools of Indian Philosophy have drawn richly from the Upanishads in some way or the other.

	History of Yoga
		While protracted discussions of the ultimate, infinite Self, or Atman, and realization of Brahman, are the true legacy of the Upanishads, the first principal Yoga text was the Bhagavad Gita ("The Lord's Song"), also known as Gitopanishad.
		A few even dispute his existence and attribute the Yoga Sutras to many authors, but this is highly unlikely due to the structural, linguistic and stylistic uniformity of the short work.
		Very Upanishadic in its notions, worship of Gods is a secondary means of focus on the higher being, a conduit to realization of the Divine Ground.

	The Upanishads, Vol I
		The Upanishads were translated from Sanskrit into Persian by, or, it may be, for Dârâ Shukoh, the eldest son of Shâh Jehân, an enlightened prince, who openly professed the liberal religious tenets of the great Emperor Akbar, and even wrote a book intended to reconcile the religious doctrines of Hindus and Mohammedans.
		Some questions connected with the metres of the Upanishads have been very learnedly treated by Professor Gildemeister in his essalv, 'Zur Theorie des Sloka.' The lesson to be derived from that essay, and from a study of the Upanishads, is certainly to abstain for the present from conjectural emendations.
		In the old Upanishads the same metrical freedom prevails as in the hymns; in the later Upanishads, much may be tolerated as the result of conscious or unconscious imitation.

		Amrita-Nâda-Upanishad ("Upanishad of the Immortal Sound"), consisting of 38 verses, is one of the Yoga Upanishads.

	Maitri Upanishad
		The Maitri or Maitrayaniya Upanishad, belongs to the Maitrayaniya sakha or branch of the Black Yajur Veda.
		The whole Upanishad is later in date than the classical Upanishads which it quotes frequently.
		The three forms are traced to the three gunas, rajas, sattva and tamas in V. Suggestions of the illusionary character of the world, momentariness of phenomenon show the influence of Buddhist thought.

	The Bliss of Knowledge
		The Upanishad states, "desiring what, and for whose sake should there be entry into a body, when there is the realisation, 'I am the Atman, all-pervading in nature'?" Desires are valid when there is a body and there is the world which acts as a means in their fulfilment.
		The Upanishad states that a knower, having attained the fulfilment of all his wishes, attains immortality.
		The man with discrimination sees the defects in the objects of sense as the king Brihadratha did in the past, as is recorded in the Maitrayaniya Upanishad.

		In a later portion, however, of the Upanishad (II, 3), the expression srinkâ vittamayî occurs, which I have translated by 'the road which leads to wealth.' As it is said that Nakiketas did not choose that srinkâ, some reader must have supposed that a srinkâ was offered him by Death.
		Native commentators explain it as the shaving Upanishad, that is, as the Upanishad which cuts off the errors of the mind, like a razor.
		In our Upanishad, however, Îsvara is the creator, and though, philosophically speaking, we should say that be was conceived as phenomenal, yet we must never forget that the phenomenal is the form of the real, and Îsvara therefore an aspect of Brahman[1].

	The Yoga Studio
		The Maitrayaniya Upanishad describes it as "The sound of the soundless Absolute." It is on the sound of Om that Yogins and Yoginis focus their attention when in meditation.
		The Maitrayaniya Upanishad states "Just as a spider climbing up a thread finds open space, so indeed the meditator climbs up by the means of Om and finds personal freedom."
		The same Upanishad describes Om as made up of four parts; these four parts represent the four states of consciousness- waking, dreaming, sleeping, and the fourth state which is transcendental or the true self beyond the desiring mind.

		One of the earliest Upanishads to teach specific yoga meditation practices was the Maitrayaniya Upanishad from the second or third century B.C.E. This Upanishad defined yoga as a means of binding the breath and the mind using the syllable Om.
		The vibrational power of sound, as exemplified in the primordial word Om, came to signify the inner meaning of a yogi's actions, and speech enabled the yogi to express that meaning.
		Today, as in the days of the Upanishads, the guru's words impart wisdom to his students and, for the more devotionally adept, chanting the name of a god or goddess remains a powerful vehicle for transformation.

	A History of Yoga
		One of the earliest Upanishads to teach specific yoga meditation practices was the Maitrayaniya Upanishad from the 2 nd or 3 rd century B.C.E. This Upanishad defined yoga as a means of binding the breath and the mind using the syllable Om.
		While the Maitrayaniya Upanishad outlined a six-fold path to liberation, the Gita advocated a three-pronged approach: karma yoga, the path of service; jnana yoga, the path of wisdom or knowledge; and bhakti yoga, the path of devotion.

	Hindu Wisdom - Symbolism in Hinduism
		These lofty teachings of the Vedas and Upanishads had to be clothed in symbolism, and presented in allegories.
		It is therefore not surprising that in the period succeeding the Upanishads the idea of Bramh came to be clothed in forms which the human mind and the imagination can grasp.
		Be it in the Vedas, the Upanishads or the Puranas, the Lord Shiva is always referred to with great reverence as well as under different names.

	Gurus - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The principle of this relationship is that knowledge, especially subtle or advanced knowledge, is best conveyed through a strong human relationship based on ideals of the student's respect, commitment, devotion and obedience, and on personal instruction by which the student eventually masters the knowledge that the guru embodies.
		An example of this dynamic can be found embodied in the relationship between Krishna and Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita portion of the Mahabharata, and between Rama and Hanuman in the Ramayana.
		In the Upanishads, gurus and shishya appear in a variety of settings (husband answering questions about immortality, a teenage boy being taught by Yama, or Death personified, etc.).
