The term 'Upanishad' Literally implies

A. Knowledge

B. Wisdom

C. Sitting near

D. Recitation

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The literal meaning of upanishad, "sitting near devotedly," brings picturesquely to mind an earnest disciple learning from his teacher. The word also means "secret teaching"—secret, no doubt, because a teaching vouchsafed only to those who are spiritually ready to receive and profit by it.
