Regarding Four vedas

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

As we all know, there are four vedas, namely Yajur, Rig,

Sama and Adharvana veda. I want to know which upanishads belong to which

veda. Also what are the other texts that constitute these four vedas.

 

Thanks

Magesh

" Upanishads are the ancient most metaphors exploring the nature of reality "

say the definition of upanishads. They are the philosophic texts of Hinduism

which occurs mainly in the end portion of the Vedas (the Aranyaks). Madhava

on our list is more suited to give you references but as he has gone to

India for his holidays; I will try and give you some information about

their location in the Vedas.

 

Muktaponisahd quotes that Rigveda has 10 upanishad Shukal Yajurveda has 19.

Krishna Yajurveda has 32, Samveda has sixteen and Atharva Veda has 31.

 

Upanishads:

Isha considered to be perhaps the most ancient occurs in Yajurveda (shukal

portion)

Kena is in the Samaveda (talvakar brahman)

Katho is considered to belong to Yajurveda (krishna portion)

Prasno is from the Atharvaveda

Mundaka comes from the Atharvaveda

Mandukya is also in Atharvaveda

Taittirya is in Yajurveda (krishna portion)

Aitreya comes from Rigveda

Chandogya is from Samveda

Brahadaranyaka is from Yajurveda (shukala portion)

Svetasvatar is from Yajurveda (krishna portion)

 

These are the origins of the 11 well known upanishads.
