About this book
Kena Upanishad by Unknown opens with a striking question that has guided seekers for millennia: by whom or by what is the mind set in motion? As one of the classical Upanishads linked to the Talavakara Brahmana of the Sama Veda, the Kena Upanishad (Kenopanishad) is a compact yet profound ancient text that probes the nature of Brahman, the limits of intellect and language, and the origin of perception and will.
This ancient text, part of the Vedanta tradition and often grouped among the eleven principal Upanishads, preserves a dialogical, poetic exploration of metaphysical inquiry. Passed down orally in Vedic meters and later commented upon by major philosophers, the Kena challenges assumptions about knowing and being without leaning on dogma, offering philosophical insight that influenced thinkers from classical India to Western philosophers like Schopenhauer. Its themes include the relation between the self (Atman) and ultimate reality, the inadequacy of conceptual thought, and the path from ignorance to intuitive realization.
Ideal for listeners of ancient texts, students of Vedanta, and anyone drawn to spiritual philosophy or comparative religion, this audiobook delivers a luminous, accessible encounter with one of India’s most eloquent meditations on mystery and consciousness.
