moksha is a vedic term. scholars disagree about the precise relationship between the moksha of vedanta hinduism and the nirvana of buddhism, but there is agreement that they are closely related historically and philosophically. similarities can be found between moksha and some concepts found in the upanishads. hindu texts explain the moksha as sat-chit-anand [true blissness of soul by separating the soul from the physical body by practising dhyan and yoga ]. moksha originates from the sanskrit word, moksa.
