	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 Principal Upanishads by Neria Harish Hebbar, MD
		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.

	Lotus of the Heart; A Summary of the Upanishads (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Upanishads are a series of brief writings that originated from hymns and teachings in early Indian civilization, some dating to approximately 1500 BC.
		Each Upanishad is, in Easwaran’s words, "complete in itself, an ecstatic snapshot of transcendent Reality." Some of them are in story and/or dialog form; some are narratives; others are chants or hymns with poetic rhythms.
		The Upanishads do not provide easy answers, but rather lead the reader to become conscious of the questions and the questioner, to experience spiritual being-ness and connection to the universe.

		Deciding the time of the origin of this Upanishad is not easy because, apart from very ancient content, other verses seem to have been added later.
		Though it may not be as old as liturgic Upanishads like Chandogya or Brhadaranyaka Upanishad, we can say it belongs to the time period of a poetic group of Upanishads like the Katha Upanishad, Ishavasya or Mandukya Upanishad.
