Kena Upanishad

The Upanishads are a collection of texts which contain the central philosophical concepts of Hinduism. They explore the concepts of Brahman (Ultimate Reality) and Atman (Soul, Self), which are the spiritual core of Hinduism.



The Kena Upanishad is a short and significant Primary Upanishad, embedded in the Samaveda.



All Upanishads discuss the concepts of Brahman and Atman, but the Kena is especially celebrated for its remarkable discussion of Brahman in two distinct ways – first as the Unmanifest Absolute with no attributes, and second imagined as Manifest with a form and with attributes!



Because it covers the central idea of Brahman in such depth and breadth, the Kena Upanishad is celebrated for being a treatise on "purely conceptual knowledge". This has made it a foundational scripture to Vedanta school of Hinduism.
