Nehru Centre talk: In Praise of the Kena Upanishad

A talk by Dr Nick Sutton of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies

The Kena is one of the shorter Upanishads and its teachings are not widely known.  It does, however, offer an important insight into the way in which philosophical teachings are propagated and the question of authority and leadership in religion.  In this talk we will reflect on the specific ideas encountered within the Kena Upanishad and the wider implications of its teachings.
