The word Vedanta is the combination of two separate Sanskrit words “Veda” and “anta”. Veda means Knowledge and anta means end. Knowledge, as it is described in ancient Indian scriptures, can be categorized into two types based on its nature. The one which helps us to live in the world as a healthy-wealthy-learned person, is traditionally written as “knowledge” and is known as, in Sanskrit, ‘Apara Vidya’, secular knowledge. The other one which gives us access to the eternal happiness is expressed as “Knowledge” and, is according to Vedanta terminology, ‘Para Vidya’, Spiritual Knowledge. At the end (anta) of this Knowledge (Veda) one, by attaining God (Brahman), becomes nothing but God. Vedanta and Upanishad are synonymous. The word ‘upanishad’ is derived from the prefixes upa (near) and ni (perfectly), joined to the verbal root sad (to shatter, attain, or destroy), and means the knowledge of Reality, expounded in books of that name.
