Essays on the Vedanta Philosophy
The Vedas are divided into four parts, Samhitas, Brahmanas,
Aranyakas, and Upanishads. The first one is the ritual portion of
the Vedas. The fourth one is the philosophical part. The middle
two are a mixture of both. The essential knowledge derived from
the four parts of the Vedas is collectively known as Mimansa. Of
it, the knowledge principally derived from the Samhitas is known
as Purva Mimansa, and the one which is derived from the Upanishads
is known as Vedanta, or Uttara Mimansa. Vedanta means the end of
the Vedas, and the Upanishads rightfully represent the end part
of the Vedas. The Vedanta school which is as ancient as the Upanishads,
speaks about the nature of existence, and the truths concerning
Brahman, Atman and their relationship and roles in the manifested
worlds. There are many sub schools of Vedanta, of which three are
most well known, the school of non-dualism (advaita), dualism (dvaita),
and qualified dualism (vishstadvaita). The following essays cover
some of these aspects in considerable detail.
