Question: are the upanishads part of the vedas?
Answer: In fact Upanishads are parts of Vedas. Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva are the four Vedas. A Veda is divided into four parts, namely, Samhita, Brahmana, Aranyaka and Upanishad. ... Since Upanishad forms the end part of a Veda it is also called as Vedanta.
