Kathopanishad

About Kathopanishad

Kathopanishad is one of the 10 principal upanishads which present the essence and culmination of all knowledge found within India’s most ancient and sacred texts; the vedas. It is a dialogue between a little boy named Nachiketa and the Lord of Death, Yama, which covers the nature of life after death, the true meaning of sacrifice, and how one can transcend death. It is believed that listening to the upanishads is the first step towards discovering our unique spiritual path to liberation. In 2020, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai gave a series of talks over the course of a month, which methodically and thoroughly explained the significance of the Kathopanishad and its relevance to us in our lives. This podcast series is compiled from those talks.

Difficult times reveal what kind of mind we currently have as our reactions to these difficulties are very revealing. Everything t...

   59. How Does A Realised Being Act In The World?

   Only the one who has lost the fear of death can be considered truly spiritual, for they have realised what they really are, which is neither the body nor the mind. Such a person may continue to live in the world and perform various actions, yet they do not act out of their own will, driven by fear or desires. Instead, they act purely as per the will of the divine. Because of this clear understanding and the lack of personal involvement in the actions they perform, they have no attachment or e...

   58. The Truth Behind All Religions

   Particular forms of God appeal to different people, just like some people are fans of particular films or film actors. Having a name and form to focus on in pursuit of the truth is fine and often even necessary, but it should not be mistaken for the truth itself. It is merely a mechanism by which we can focus the mind on God. In the end, only sanathana dharma contains the raw, unfiltered truth, whereas religions, though they ultimately teach the same knowledge, decorate the truth in all kinds...
