Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Dear Rameshji,Ahh, very interesting! I always had the idea that a bundle of Upanishads make for the last section of each Veda and are therefore called Ved-anta. I actually have never seen with my own eyes how Vedas look like, so pictured them as four huge books with each a comparatively last part, called Vedanta.Thank you!Om Shanti,SitaraVon: Ramesh Krishnamurthy <rkmurthyAn: advaitin Gesendet: Samstag, den 6.

For example, chapters 7,8,9 of the Taittiriya Aranyaka, which is a section of the Yajurveda, are together called the Taittiriya Upanishad. Likewise, chapter 10 of the Taittiriya Aranyaka is called the Mahanarayana Upanishad. This has nothing to do with meter etc, as many of the Upanishads are in prose.In a historical context, perhaps one could say that certain sections of the Veda-s that were of a "philosophical" nature acquired an identity of their own and came to be called Upanishads. shrI gurubhyo namaHRameshOn 6 February 2010 14:17, Sitara <smitali17 (AT) (DOT) de> wrote: Dear all,Is there a reason why certain Upanishads are attached to certain Vedas?
