Chandogya Upanishad is associated with the Kauthuma Shakha of the Sama Veda. It is part of the Chandogya Brahmana, which has ten chapters. The Chandogya Upanishad comprises of eight chapters, and commences on the Om Mantra. The 13th Khanda of Chapter Seven of Chandogya Upanishad describes memory as Brahman. Narada approached Sanatkumara to know about the real Self or the Supreme Brahman. Narada wished to know what was greater than akasa to which Sanatkumara replied that memory is greater than akasa or space. He explained that if there was no memory even if many people assembled, no one would be able to hear anyone or think or understand anything. However, if there was memory one would be able to hear, think and understand. It is through memory that one realises and recognises his father, children, cattle and other things. Thus, one must meditate on memory as Brahman. He is then able to obtain the world rich in memory. He who knows this and realises it becomes free and reaches as far as memory reaches. The moment he attains the regions of memory he is able to achieve whatever he desires.
