Kena Upanishad | English

About This Book

Kena Upanishad (English) by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is Gurudev's commentary on one of the shortest and most penetrating of the ancient Upanishads — a dialogue that asks the most fundamental question possible: what is the power behind the mind, the breath, the senses? What knows the knower? Among Sri Sri Ravi Shankar books in English available to buy online in India, this English edition brings this 3,000-year-old text to a wider audience.

The Kena Upanishad points toward what meditation eventually reveals — that behind all experience is an awareness that is not itself experienced as an object, because it is the very subject of all experience.

Who This Book Is For

For meditators who have had glimpses of the witness — the silent awareness that observes all experience — and want to understand what they have touched. For students of Vedanta. For those who read the Upanishads and want the commentary of someone who knows the territory from the inside.
