Upanishads
The word Upanishad comes from the combination of three words- ‘Upa’ meaning near-by in Sanskrit, ‘ni ‘which means at the proper place and ‘sad’ which means to sit. I.e. Upanishad means the knowledge that is gained by sitting near and obtaining instructions and information from a teacher. Thus most of the Upanishads were originally conveyed via an Oral Tradition called Sruti; which means the details were remembered and conveyed by the teacher to the student thru oral dialogues (speech). It was much later that these texts were written down under the Written Tradition called Smriti.
