The Narayana Upanishad (also known as Maha Narayana Upanishad or Narayanopanishad) is a profound Upanishad from the Krishna Yajurveda tradition.

This Upanishad contains some of the most powerful mantras including the famous 'Om Namo Narayanaya' and the Narayana Suktam. It forms the philosophical foundation of Vaishnavism and establishes Narayana as Para Brahman.
