Kathopanishad


Kathopanishad is the conversation between Nachiketa and Yamraj (God of death). 
  • It is composed in one hundred nineteen mantras and constructed around a dialogue between a spiritually minded young man named Nachiketa on one hand and Yama, the king of death on the other.
  • Nachiketa was a seeker, and Yamraj was a Guru (knower of secrets).  
  • The path described by Yama in the Kathopanishad is the path of yoga, whose aim is the spiritual union between the individual soul and the supreme Self of all.
