This episode focuses on a body of sacred literature known as the Upanishads, which represents a clear shift away from the traditional Vedic sacrificial rite, which becomes internalized within the individual human for the first time in Indian history. Internalization of the sacrifice ensues due to an elevation in the status of the human body as a worthy object of meditative inquiry, and the new place of mystical realization. Elevation in the status of the body leads to innovations in disciplines ranging from Ayurvedic physiology to Hatha Yoga. The Upanishads also show clear examples of practices that prefigure modern practices, particularly pranayama.
