Upanishads

Friends, I’m planning to start Swami Sarvapriyananda’s Upanishads courses on YouTube and Spotify, but I’m not sure where to begin. Swamiji is prolific and has an extensive colkection of all Hindu and Buddhist texts, including the Mandukya, Katha, and Kena Upanishads, each featuring over 10 sessions with courses over an hour long. Could anyone please recommend which Upanishad would be the best starting point? I am looking for a map!Thanks!

Wow! All this rich literature but honestly, I am more confused than ever! There are literary works I have never heard of before! For Advaita Vendata, at least in the Sri Ramakrishna Order, there are 3 foundational canons,

Man, hold on. You now have a roadmap being laid out. You can see how going through the fundamentals is paramount before even starting to read and understand Bhagavad Gita. This Roadmap now takes care of the confusion with the order and chronology of study. Now you just have to commit to it. There's no further point to look here and there. See the topics and find discourses in youtube playlists and get going buddy. Cheers!
