Katha Upanishad: Life, Death and After Life by Pravrajika Divyanandaprana

📑Katha Upanishad Part 1 of 5📚
"The Katha Upanishad is widely read both in the East and in the West. The Knowledge of the Self is here described in a lucid style almost unparalleled in the philosophical writings of the world. Max Miller has said that the French, German, and English translators of the Upanishads regard this treatise as “one of the most perfect specimens of the mystic philosophy and poetry of the ancient Hindus.”
The Upanishads form, for the most part, the concluding portions of the Brahmana section of the Vedas. But the exact relationship of the Katha Upanishad to the Vedas is a controversial subject, some associating it with the Sama-Veda, some with the Yajur-Veda, and others with the Atharva-Veda. The Brahmana of the Taittiriya Yajur-Veda contains a story of Nachiketa very similar to the one found in the Katha Upanishad.
Like all the Upanishads, the Katha Upanishad aims at inculcating the Knowledge of Brahman, which alone, according to Vedanta, enables a man to attain Immortality and Freedom. As the subject is profound and difficult to grasp, the Upanishad, following an ancient Hindu method, begins with an illustrative tale."

I am always delighted when Mataji uploads new content. Her brilliance is unmatched. Surely, digital media was invented for this reason alone.🙏

Katha Upanishad is good book to read consisting of conversation between Yama, Hindu devta of death and a brahmin, named Nachiketa. But, it is laughing matter, if someone wishes to put it up as a book which has revealed mystery of life, death and afterlife.

[@dhanrajmohan701]

Public comment. Understanding body and mind and soul reflecting your inner ability to control your taught and actions base on how you procieve life journey begins with you devotees. Knowledge is powerful use it wisely in words taught and deeds weather physical mental or emotional self realization is the key to success. Self reflection and self realization brings peace and mind and happiness. Be simple. Be a sample and be an example. Serving the purpose by understanding your purpose.

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind, the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study is always your own mind ,but the object of your study your own mind The falling of an apple gave the suggestion to Newton, and he studied his own mind, He arranged all the previous links of thought in his mind and discovered a link of thought in his mind and discovered a new link among them which we call law of gravitation

[@bhattacharya6774]

Pranam Mataji 🙏 🙏. Prof k. RamaSubramanium of IIT ,Bombay ,during his talks in vedanta society ,Newyork opined that ,Nachiketa's father didn't give away old ,useless cows during yagna sacrifice, but actually ,not gave away as sacrifice, all he had,although that particular yagna required giving away all as yagna sacrifice. According to him,that he gave away only old useless cows as yagna sacrifice is a misconception. Please clarify.
