The Essence and Interpretation of Vedanta

The term Vedanta combines the teachings of the Vedas and the Upanishads, signifying the final and highest teachings of the Vedas, not just the end of the text. Vedanta or Siddhanta is the ultimate conclusion or highest teachings, emphasizing that the rituals in the Vedas are not the ultimate lessons. Instead, the Upanishads contain the highest teachings known collectively as Vedanta, aimed at understanding the source of knowledge or Brahmanam.
