In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: WikiPedia: UpanishadsThe Taittiriya Upanishad is one of the older, "primary" Upanishads. It is divided into three sections or vallis:
- the Siksha Valli,
- the Brahmananda Valli and
- the Bhrigu Valli.
Each Valli further subdivided into anuvakas or verses.
The Siksha Valli deals with the discipline of Shiksha (the study of phonetics and pronunciation).

Vedanta (वेदानà¥à¤�, vedÄnta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).

Sanskrit, also spelled संसà¥à¤•ृतमà¥� (²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìá¹›t²¹³¾), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
