About the book

Incorporated in the Samveda, Kena Upanishad is one of the major Upanishads with cardinal teachings on Vedanta. One of the key aspects of this text is the usage of paradoxical language in describing the absolute reality. It has four sections. The first two parts are a question-answer-based dialogue between the Guru and the disciple. The Guru answers the disciple’s questions and reveals the nature of Brahman. The third part dwells upon a mysterious, allegorical story. The last part unravels the mysterious narrative and talks about the glorious experience of self-realisation, about the glory of the awakened being. Anandmurti Gurumaa, an awakened master, decodes the cryptic teachings in an easy-to-understand language. Her profound elaboration from an empirical point of view serves as an essential guide to seekers of Vedanta.
