The Kathopanishad is one of the most relevant and profound Upanishads for modern seekers. Ishan explains how the dialogue between Naciketa and Yama Raja is a model of a dedicated practitioner (Naciketa) asking for guidance from the embodiment of the knowing power (Yama Raja). The three gifts Yama Raja granted Naciketa reveal what we also must accomplish on the spiritual path. Illuminating both inner and outer dimensions of life, the Kathopanishad is a precious gift—a path to engage the sacred fire of transformation and find lasting fulfillment.
