Preface

Vedas are the ancient Hindu Scriptures, which are the collection of all the knowledge which may be required by mankind, on spiritual path and also in all other matters.

It was Rsi Vyasa who was a son of Brahmin- Parasara (born of a fisher woman) who wrote down all the knowledge of Vedas on Bhoja-patram and Palmyrah into four volumes, Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharvana veda. Each volume has three parts mantra, brahamana and Upanishad. Since Upanishad is the last portion of each volume, these are also called Vedanta, Veda + Anta (Anta means the end), i.e. the final or the ultimate teachings of Vedas..

Upanishads do not give the name of their author but at certain instances, we come to know the name of the author due to internal evidences. Vedas describe the realm beyond the world which is visible to us by our senses. Since it is not easy to explain the transcendental in gross words, one has to go deep to understand the Upanishads.

All Upanishads are conversation between the guru and disciple. The knowledge in Vyasa Upanishads is beyond the realm of our senses and experiences that we can have through our mind and intellect. These Upanishads actually contain the science of life. In all these theories propounded at that time there are some links which are missing. But when the students went deep within and tried to perceive the things in super conscious state, they found the ultimate truth. In fact rsis did not insist on any belief in their teachings. They in their effort to know the unknown closely and very logically observed the known and unfolded the unknown. So the rsis provided a technique and hypothesis to their disciple to follow, to search and find the ultimate truth.
