For ages the contents of the Vedas lay unstructured and became a complex and incomprehensible web. Then a sage by the name of Krishna Dwaipayana classified this collection of knowledge according to age and purpose giving the Vedas their present form. For this Herculean task he is today better known as Veda Vyasa or the Compiler of the Vedas.

The Upanishads are philosophical discussions that examine and propound the wisdom in the earlier part of the Vedas. Since they appear at the end of the Vedas they are also called Vedanta meaning the last part of the Vedas. All subsequent Hindu thought is derived from the discussions found in the Upanishads.
