Course Description:
Upanisads are the crown jewel of the Vedas. Those scriptures which help the practitioner achieve liberation and bring the person close to the Lord are called Upanisad. Upa means "near" and nisīdati means "bring." Or the word may be divided as upa meaning "near," with ni meaning "certainly" and sad meaning "to loosen, destroy or attain." That knowledge which loosens bondage with certainty, destroys the ignorance concerning the jīva's svarūpa and brings one close to the Lord is called Upanisad. Upanisad is called brahma-vidyā and rahasya-vidyā, secret knowledge, imparted by the guru to the disciple, who realizes it in his heart.
