The Spiritual Trinity of Hinduism

The Upanishads, the Brahma Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita are called the Spiritual Trinity of Hinduism. They constitute the final authority on scriptural matters. There is no conflict of views among these three. The elucidation of the Ultimate Reality and the means of realizing It are categorically sated in these books. If a question is raised as to which is the scriptural authority in Hinduism, the answer is: this trinity. There is not a single cardinal point in Hinduism that is not touched in these books.
(Srimat Swami Chidbhavananda in his "Introduction to the Bhagavad Gita").
