UPANISHADS and the concept of SHRUTI-SMRITI


ADESH ADESH !!
The word 'upanishad' is derived from a combination of three words, namely upa+ni+sad. 'Upa' means near, 'ni' means down and 'sad' means to sit. The original Upanishads are the end portions of the four Vedas, and there by came to be identified with "Vedanta", which literally means the end of the Vedas. They dealt with the philosophical aspects of the Vedas and were taught in ancient India to highly qualified and selected individuals only.
The Upanishadic texts are part of the SHRUTI literature and are considered to be divine in origin. They are associated with the names of several ancient seers. Some of these lived many generations before Lord Krishna and Mahabharata war. Here its very noteworthy that the most of the knowledge of the seers were transferred only in the form of SHRUTI-SMRITI, NOW IT IS VERY IMPRTANT TO UNDERSTAND HE AND WHY THE CONCEPT OF “SHRUTI-SMRITI” WAS FORMULATED IN MOST OF THE YOGIC PRACTICES.. its clear the knowledge and its aspects depnds on the level of perception and mental set up of the practitioner, different people may find different levels of understandings and views on the same TEXT OR SHALOKA.... so in my opinion the secretive and truthful knowledge was given to only intellectual with better understanding.
It may be one odf the reason that exact number of the Upanishads is not clearly known. Scholars differ on the total number of Upanishads as well as on what constitutes an Upanishad...still these form an integral part of the spiritual studies not only for particular sect or faith but for whole humanity
