"Vedanta literally means \'The End of the Vedas\'. The Upanisads may be regarded as the end of the Vedas also in the sense that they mark the culmination of the Vedic speculation. Besides, the Upanisads were regarded as the inner or secret meanings of the Vedas, hence their teachings were sometimes called Vedopanisad or the Mystery of the Vedas. 

The work entitled \'Aspects of the Vedanta\' is a collection of articles, written various eminent scholars of Sanskrit and Philosophy. The articles are now revised and further added with diacritical marks for proper reading/pronunciation of the Sanskrit Terms. Besides, Glossary and Index are also appended in the book for the benefit of researchers and general readers of Philosophy and Religion." (jacket)
