Katha Upanishad

A fearless boy.
Three boons.
One timeless conversation.

The Katha Upanishad tells the inspiring story of young Nachiketas, who, in a moment of his father’s anger, is sent to the abode of Lord Yama — the Lord of Death. Waiting three days before being received, Nachiketas is granted three boons. What unfolds is a profound and elevating dialogue on the mysteries of life, death, and the eternal Self.

In these discourses, recorded during the Vedanta Sadhaka Course at Adi Sankara Nilayam, the maternal birth home of Sri Adi Shankaracharya (February 2022), Swami Advayananda unravels the depth and beauty of this Upanishadic wisdom.
