JAI SRIMANNARAYANA PRIYA FRANK!

 

WE ARE HAPPY FOR THE CURIOUCITY YOU HAVE. THE NAMES OF THE UPANISHADS CAME IN

DIFFERENT WAYS. SOME CAME BY THE FIRST WORD THEY HAVE VIZ., I:SA, KE:NA ETC.,

SOME NAMES CAME BY THE PERSONS CHANTED THOSE PARTS OF THE VEDAS. KATTHA AND

CHHANDO:GYA NAMES CAME LIKE THAT. THE PART OF SA:MA VE:DA, WHICH WAS CHANTED

AND PROTECTED FROM GENERATIONS TOGETHER BY ORAL TRADITION, BY THE SCHOLARS

CALLED 'CHHANDO:GAS', BECAME 'CHHANDO:GYO:PANISHAD'. HENCE, THIS NAME CAME AFTER

THE SCHOLARS WHO WERE CHANTING IT.

Hari Om

~~~~~~~

I am studying the Chhandogya Upanishad and

wondered if anyone on this list can give me

the definition of 'Chhandogya'. I have

been fortunate to read many of the Upanishads

and know that they are named by the first

word of the writing or of the rishi that is

the author. Yet, in this case of Chhandogya,

I have doubt.

 

Thank you in advance if you can advise me

accordingly.
