The Chandogya Upanishad (Sanskrit: छान्दोग्योपनिषद्, Chāndogyopaniṣad) is a Sanskrit text embedded in the Chandogya Brahmana of the Sama Veda. In the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads, it is listed as the ninth. The Upanishad belongs to the Tandya school of the Samaveda. As one of the most extensive Upanishadic compilations, it comprises eight Prapathakas (literally ‘lectures’ or ‘chapters’), each divided into multiple sections containing numerous verses. The volumes include a diverse array of stories and themes.
The name of the Upanishad is derived from the word Chanda or chandas, which means “poetic meter, prosody”. The nature of the text relates to the patterns of structure, stress, rhythm and intonation in language, songs and chants.
