Upanishads ?
December 27, 2011 07:34AM
I am trying to read about Hindu texts 'Upanishads' but different sites say different things.

Were Upanishads part of age-old Veds ? Are they the appendix of Vedas ?
Were they written after Vedas? Who was/were the author of 'Upanishads ?

Vedas in itself are just Mantras and hardly contain any philosophy. Upanishads are appendixes to Vedas and contain the philosophy that is central to the Vedic religion. The Khat Shasters or the 6 schools of thought within the Vedic religion, all use the same Upanishads and interpret totally different philosophies related to Brahm, Jeev and Jada (world). The popular ones today are Vedant and Yogmat.
