ABOUT KENO UPANISHAD

AUM SRI SAI RAM AUM SRI SAI RAM The Kenopanishad is ascribed to Sama Veda and its Thalavakara branch and hence it is called as Thalavakaropanishad  also.The word  Kena is derived from  the first mantra of this Upanishad 'Keneshitham pathathi preshitham manah'. This Upanishad gives all the seekers  the upadesa of Brahma Jnanam.It deals with Brahmam which is Sathyam ,Jnanam and Anantham.Each Upanishad has its own  style of  communicating vedantic  knowledge.This  Upanishad  starts with the  word "KENO' which means by whom or by what.Hence  this Upanishad starts with enquiry in the form of questions ,all of which are concerned with 'Self'. This is an advanced  Upanishad since the students involved are advanced in their spiritual maturity
