Each Veda
consisted of 2 parts. The first 3/4th of the Veda is Karma Kanda
and the last 1/4th is the Gnana Kanda. Karma Kanda deals in detail
about the Mantras and the rituals to be performed. While the Gnana Kanda
deals with the description of the Supreme God known as the Para Brahman or
the Virat Purasha. Karma kanda has 2
divisions namely Samhita (Mantras) and Brahmanas (ritualistics). And Gnana
Kanda has 2 divisions namely Aranyakas (Contemplative) and Upanishads
(Highest philosophical thoughts). Each
of the 4 Vedas have its own Upanishads.
